Nice shots. It's funny but we have 3 or 4 flocks of wild parrots here in LA. One of them used to nest in a tree behind my house for a week or so each year. While beautiful, they are the loudest damn birds I have ever heard.

Love your photos.

What a color treat that bird is , great shot. What is the red flower peaking though? Lehua bottle brush?
