Experiment with different colour palettes for one art. This is island drawn by me in two different moods.
Our resident yellow-naped parrots love talking to the SNC’s Executive Director, probably because they’ve known her longer than any other staff here! Their incredible memory and bonding behaviors lead to some interesting dynamics.
Parrots are known for their impressive mimicry. Vocal mimicry is the ability to imitate speech or noises. There are many possible reasons why vocal mimicry abilities could be an evolutionary advantage. Improved communication could help with the mating process and imitating predators might scare away competition.
SNC's resident Yellow-Naped Amazon Parrots were domesticated pets that were donated to us upon their owner's death. While in the wild their life expectancy is about 20-30 years, but in captivity that increases to 60-80 years. Talk about a life long companion!
The Yellow-Naped Amazon Parrots are one of the most intelligent species of parrots. They can typically be found along the Pacific Coast through Mexico and Costa Rica. Two of their main stressors are deforestation and illegal removal of young for the pet trade.
So I work for this older couple taking care of birds and a horse and they have this parrot and today I was sitting in their living room talking about the parrot, and the woman I work for said something like “the DNA test results say she’s a girl but she’s never layed an egg or tried to make a nest. I think she might be gay. Which would really be the best of both worlds.” And the parrot just nodded happily so all I have to say is GAY PARROT

Parrot社製Anafiによる空撮です。クラシック音楽でお楽しみください
場所は岡山県美作市の高原(たかはら)と万善です。高原には超巨大な太陽光発電施設があり、そこで発生した雲海を撮影しています。 私の演奏で色々と音楽動画をアップしていますが、最終楽章まで辿り着く人は半分以下だと思うんです。 でも一番難しいのは最終楽章なので、是非とも聴いてほしいという執念により、ドローンの映像と合わせて見てもらうことにしました。 曲はクーラウの3本のフルートのための三重奏ニ長調作品13-1の第3楽章フィナーレ アレグロです。
Lœillet Flute sonata in e Op.III/12 3rd mov.：Parrot Anafi ルイエ フルート・ソナタ
Jean-Baptiste Lœillet de Gant のフルートソナタホ短調です。ルイエ (1688年7月6日 – 1720年頃）は、スペイン領ネーデルラント（現ベルギー）のヘント出身の作曲家。生涯の大半をフランスで過ごした作曲家です。
もともとはリコーダのために作られた曲なので、トラヴェルソには少々音域が高く、聞いた感じ以上に難しかったです。
撮影場所は兵庫県の千種川河川敷で、空撮はParrot社製Anafiで行こないました。
のんびりとFilm modeで撮影してたら、遠くからガタンゴトンと列車が近づく音、大慌てでSports modeに切り替えて、なんとかスーパーはくとを撮影しました。
やはりスーパーはくとは速いですね。流れるように進む姿は美しいです。線路からは最短でも50ｍ 以上離しているのでご安心ください。
More birds! I finally feel like I am getting the hang of this, it’s fun to try out digital art again
My friend the sassy rainbow lorikeet from Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas in Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia.
This birdy was SO SASSY. They would strike beautiful poses for me, but as soon as I raised my camera to take a picture, they’d flick out of them to groom or scritch or JUMP. ON MY HEAD.
Birdy bird! He sure looks very pensive and yearning, but worry not my fellows, this guy and his housemate get plenty of time in the Port Douglass Wildlife Center aviary, not to mention the fact that they are very eager to greet newcomers to the Center like my cronies and I.
