I agree with the look from behind....I realized I have never seen that and wondered how their feathers stayed up so straight...now I know...with baby feathers and cotton balls LOL. Really beautiful picture.

We do always see them from their beautiful colorful fronts. When I saw this guy from behind - HA - I realized it was pretty too, just without all the colors.

We don't normally see them from behind!! Interesting perspective!

I wondered that myself. Or if he was just young and it was filling out. Not sure just what was going on with that guy.

The last pic is interesting. Is he growing or shedding his tail feathers?
