Parakeet and sunflower heads

Description

We held a sunflower display this year with about an acre of lawn area handed over to sunflowers.
Wild parakeets came visiting at seasons end, after the sunflower seeds.
There were estimated to be apprx 500 paraquets descended on the field the morning I took this pic,
I had crept quietly up close, hiding behind some conifers (as one does), suddenly, a member of the public,
dressed in a scarlet shirt burst upon the scene camera at the ready, with a cry of " Oh look, parrots...."
at which 500 birds were immediately skywards bound.
This one however seemed totally unconcerned by myself or the loud mouthed, loud dressed member of public
& carried on with its breakfast.
Closest I have got to one of them to date.

Amazing. The color contrasts and compliments in the shot are very attractive. As well as the fact that this one let you get so close. It recognized a friend in you, I would guess.
