The National Aviary in Pittsburgh is a great place to spend an afternoon, and a great place to photograph exotic birds. The Aviary has about 500 birds from around the world, from tiny finches to large eagles and condors.
This African Grey Parrot was a "rescue". While owning parrots is not advisable for many reasons, their beauty and personalities makes it easy to see why people have wanted to keep them. |
The Argus Pheasants liked to hide in the foliage, but the patterns on the feathers are stunning. |
Flamingoes -- standing on one foot and twisting their necks in improbable curves. |
Long-tailed Finch. |
The Owl Finch really does have a face like a barn owl. |
Brown Pelican. |
The Snowy Owls liked to stay half-hidden. |
The world's largest pigeon -- the Victoria Crowned Pigeon. |
