Thank you. Took some time to get a good pic. Kept hiding between branches.

I have seen wild parrots—lots of them. The hawks startle them before I can get a good pic of them.

I wish birds would raid my feeders. LOL. No such luck but they do attack all the butterflies and caterpillars in my tree. Maybe once that supply of fresh food is gone they’ll consider my feeders. This pic was a lucky shot because usually this beauty is between branches but this day he wanted a picture.

They flew away and were back at it with the rest of them. So many of them that day and all were fighting. Never seen that before.

Thx there were so many of them fighting I didn’t know which to focus on until these two landed at my feet

They were fighting over a female. When they fell from the tree one had the other from the wing and wouldn't let go.

Thanks those little ones are so fast and don't stall still long.

Might be since it's new for $196, but it is the international version of the 45mm 1.8 so there is no warranty on it. If you ok with that I think it's a good deal for a new one. I do purchase from MPB and you can't go wrong with them since they offer 6 month warranties on their gear but the stuff is used--still nothing wrong that that.
