Parrots playing hide and seek / myLot

Parrots are the worst when it comes to capturing them even in a camera. They are evasive and their green colour merges with the greenery around. This photo was taken at dusk when they were playing hide and seek on a dead areca nut tree. I enjoyed watching them and even clicked a video.

It can be really hard to photograph birds. They are slippery critters.

I thank the zoom feature of my camera.

@allknowing The zoom is incredibly handy sometimes.

Birds are not easy to be photographed unless when they are sleeping. Professional photographers may have a perfect shot of any objects including moving animals.

@allknowing It must be a very expensive camera that has that feature.

@yanzalong Not very expensive. I paid just Rs. 15,000'/- Most cameras have this feature

Whereas I feel it's hard to take pictures of owls as you won't see them normally. Do you see them in your area?

Some years ago we had four owls perched on our areca palm and those days I did not have a camera with a zoom feature. I did take photos but they were not clear. They used to be seen even during day time.
