It`s correct to call this bird a parrot? Shot with Canon Xti + 100mm 2.8 Macro + Vivitar Ringlite Flash (off camera). C&C appreciated!

Big parrot lover here
This is actually called a Macaw, but you can call it parrot too
The complete name will be: Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna)
Lovely portrait btw...love the dark bg
I would've lowered the aperture a bit ( f8 ) with ISO 200 but that's just nit-picking

Sometimes also called a blue and gold macaw--perhaps more of a pet trade name, but I'm not sure.

Thanx for the data about the bird ID! I just shot at F13 cause want to be sure about the dark background. The real BG was ugly at all. Thanx for your words.

Thanks, Lil, it was pretty big and curious about the guy with the cam

Great portrait. Excellent details.

Thank you Harsha, you`re very kind.

I have a B&G macaw named Chico. He's been my buddy for about 15 years now, and I got him when he was five weeks old. They are VERY smart and have incredibly funny and curious dispositions.

Very nice portrait, BTW. I find it very difficult to get good pictures of Chico.
