A very pleasing shot. the orange and yellow of the bird stand out against the cooler greens.
There is something special about the bokeh of long fast glass.

I love birds as well-have a wonderful cockatiel named Kahuna, but also a yard filled with cardinals, jays, the occasional hawk, ibises.
Thanks for this shot.
cheers.
