Nikhat Fatima, Wouldn't it be nice (ANIMAL & NATURE 2025)

I often spend time with backyard birds wondering what they are saying to each other. On this particular day, I was able to capture a scene that was over in few seconds, however made an interesting string of shots. A cockatoo landed on the railing and seemed to say something to the lorikeet. Another lorikeet joined in immediately with his mate. Even though the lorikeets were overshadowed by the towering cockatoo, they continued to converse loudly with the bird for a few seconds until it flew away. I was lucky to have my camera and capture some shots in focus with the subjects moving all the time.
