Sometimes the only way to shoot these birds is when they are captive.
This one can't be released back into the wild do to a wing injury.

Stunning bird. He looks proud and fierce despite a wonky wing. Andrea

Sad that he was injured, but glad that he is being taken care of and can be enjoyed through your photo.
