Parrots are disgusting

Right, let’s do this thing, day 2 of my 5 posts in 5 days and I’m bang on track. On my 2nd day in KL I spent half a day pottering round the world’s largest undercover bird sanctuary which was pretty different to anything I’d done before. Where I live in Adelaide backs onto Linear Park which is chock full of galahs and sulfur crested cockatoos. I love nothing more than seeing and hearing these guys go about their business on a late afternoon stroll so the prospect of hitting up a giant bird sanctuary with all my camera gear and no one to stop me spending as long as I liked on any given shot was pretty enticing.

I know it’s kind of cheating getting pictures of birds in captivity but I don’t care, how else are you going to get sweet shots of peacocks in full bloom?

Quite frankly I was appalled by the behavior of these parrots. It took me a while to figure out what was going on, I was just excited that so many parrots were in the one place for my photo, but soon enough it become apparent that they were engaging in a disgusting act of, well, you get the idea. For this reason the parrot win the award for “Malaysia’s dodgiest bird”.

Make sure you check back in tomorrow for another installment….
