Birds Behind The Wire!

In Ward Park we have aviaries that have mostly more exotic birds and quite a number of them I do not know their names, however I am hoping as this post reaches a good part of the world that someone will know what they are called.  Now I had to try and photograph through 1" square wire so  these are the best I could do for now.


Golden Pheasant


 Silver Pheasant


Cockatiel


Eastern Rosella

 







Cockatiel




Reeves Pheasant


Peacock





Hens






















There were quite a number of other smaller birds however they moved around to quickly for me to get any shots of them.  I hoped you enjoyed looking at these birds although I know as bird watchers we wish they were left in the wild.


Thanks you for visiting.

  7. Margaret, this is my sort of birding. I found a private collection of birds near Milton Keynes and took Trevor and Keith. I forgot to tell them as we were entering the enclosure that the Reeves Pheasant was called ASBO. Keith found out why.
    Beautiful birds and accessible.

  11. The diversity of pheasants is astounding, and I assume it was without the help of breeders. I agree the it is so much better to see them in the wild, despite the inconvenience of looking for them.

  15. We visited a refuge for exotic birds last summer, so I know what you mean, trying to shoot through the wire. They did offer a small opening for photographers if they paid a little extra. I think it would be well worth it if we go back again. That golden pheasant steals the show.

  17. These birds are so lovely! That first one, the golden pheasant is so amazing looking. Such brilliant colors and the intricacy of the feathers is great. You did an amazing job shooting through the fence. That is so hard to do.
