Phoenix

Pirbright, Surrey

I was minding my business as the sun set at the duck pond when I heard a funny sounding duck. Then a lady appears with this creature.

Meet Phoenix, a 24 year old macaw who has been in her ownership since he was a 'puppy' (her words, not mine).
I was really struggling with the fading light, so took several pictures to get a reasonable one. She totally understood as she is a DSLR pictureholic too!
