(Scarlet Macaw) “Sweet Love.” These birds have this figured out. (Please click to enlarge)
Many birds raise offspring jointly and mate for life.
(Yellow Crowned Amazon Parrot) Some of the birds at the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver BC are endangered in the wild.
Birds don’t wage wars and they don’t wipe out multiple species and habitats.
(Red Shouldered Macaw) Sometimes I wonder who is more highly evolved?
(Eclectus Parrot) “Imagine all the people living life in peace.”
Cheers to you from our peaceable feathered friends. We can learn a lot from them~

Cindy. Cindy’s beautiful bird photos!
Awwww you are such a thoughtful blogger friend! Have a wonderful week my friend~
I adore your pics so much!
<3 <3
Great post and beautiful birds 😉
Mil grazi & cheers too~
Another supposed “sign” of civilization is the keeping of animals in the prisons we call zoos and conservatories while we destroy their natural habitat. Having said that – beautiful photos, as usual.
Yes, such an impossible choice, put them in a aviary because their species are dying out and their habitat is destroyed. Four species of Amazons are extinct. The San Diego Wild Animal Park has the last one remaining rhino of his species. How sad is this? At least in these two locations they have plenty of room to roam and interact with other species.
Oh, I love the lesson you impart with your beautiful photos, Cindy. I was thinking the same thing: “Why can’t humans be more like these beautiful birds?”
The more I hang out in the natural world the more messed up I think civilization is!
You capture the most stunning colors crisply and without glare. Beautiful bird photography! A pleasure to see.

Hi there Antionette, I agree with you as usual!
I have also a parrot (cockatoo), its a gift from german friends therefore I call it Kakadu-Papagei :). They are not as beautifull as http://cindyknoke.com/2014/07/25/shy-beauties/#comments but really quite entertaining
Oh cockatoos are magnificent birds! So beautiful and so intelligent. Have you trained him?
he was trained by his previous keeper.
Lovely!
isn’t he???
Oh MY GOSH!!! I am in LOVE with Robert!!! The genius parrot. There is something so amazing about parrots! I adore them .Thank you for this clip!
These parrot photos are spectacular, and I appreciate the messages, too. Great post Cindy. 🙂
Happy you do my friend and thank you too!
We travel this world with amazing friends!
Yes! I have missed you and gone looking for you several times. Of course the reader has huge gaps but I have looked at your various blogs trying to see if I have missed a post. Have I?
I don’t think so! This summer has been incredibly busy with projects. I am just keeping up with my reading of posts! 🙂 🙂 🙂
That isssss a full time job!!!
This is the most beautiful and moving way to express “the world needs now is love”. And, we are still imagining… Spectacular photos, as always. Thank YOU, Cindy!
This is why you and I get along so well Amy. We share some very similar values. Cheers to you my friend~
We do, Cindy. I value our blog friendship .
Beautiful post, Cindy. The birds are stunningly colorful. 🙂
Aren’t they wonderful. I love their wise eyes!
attempt 2 to comment. Love the photos. My single daughter owns a beautiful non-talking parrot.
This planet needs some love.
This planet surely does! What type of parrot?
Wonderful pics as ever, Cindy. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for appreciating!
The colors in these feathered friends are such brilliant, eye catching colors.
I couldn’t agree with you more about civilization! The Natural World is where it’s at for me! Beautiful Cindy, absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing and taking my breath away!
Awwww, the more people mess up our world and each other, the more I find myself retreating into the far saner, natural world.
I’m with you 100% on this!
I always think that Macaws and Parrots look like exotic tropical flowers – with beaks! They are so vibrantly colourful. 🙂
And so smart too, always a step or two ahead of me…….
Beautiful birds, Cindy. Myself I’ve long stopped wondering which the more advanced species is. We can talk, we can write, and we can read, but that all seems just more tools of war. But enough of that, these photos are fantastic, and I thank you for sharing.
If only people would listen to the animals instead of fight and destroy…….
“It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of..”. Pretty bird.
I can hear Dionne…..
I never wonder. I know. We are the only species if we all disappeared not one other species would miss us, I can’t say that about bees or worms or bison. Just us “evolved” humans. <3 Wonderful post thank you. Peace. 😀
Oh your first sentence is so true! Peace to you my friend and thank you for not being part of the problem~
These photos of these beautiful birds are absolutely breath taking. Ty for sharing them.
Visa versa 2 U X 2 for appreciating them~
Cindy, such beautiful pictures. You are right, the world right now needs a lot of love. Hugs! Veraiconica

Gratitude for knowing you my friend and for all the light you shed in the world~
Love that brilliant red 🙂
Gorgeous aren’t they!
Yes indeed, we can learn a lot from these peaceful creatures. Beautiful captured Cindy!
Merci beaucoup mon ami~
Outstanding!
Awwww, thank you~
Stunning birds!
Agreed! 🙂
I love the shots of the birds. Perhaps they are more evolved in the things that matter because they have been at it for longer. Perhaps that gives hope to us all. Yay . Please accept a :bear:
Oh I like the positive reframe Graham. Maybe we are still evolving eh? And if we don’t ruin the planet and destroy ourselves there is hope for us? I accept it and thank you as always my friend~
Such sweetness. Love their colors! Your photos are amazing!
Awww your painting are true works of art~
Beautiful birds and beautiful message. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for caring~
I am amazed that some birds do have concept of mate for life. These are gorgeous picture of them. The green one look handsome (I assume male).
Yes, but funnily enough the red Eclectus is a female. One of the few birds where the male is hum-drum and the female is bold and beautiful! Cheers to you my dear friend~
Beautiful birds – Beautiful images! 🙂
You, my dear are very kind and very appreciated~
The first pics are self explanatory, Cindy. The next two must be just green with envy, and the last one is getting a little blue 🙂 Hugs !
Love it!! I wish you did the captions cuz~
I may understand expressions of the birds well.
Wise creatures aren’t they~
Brilliant…on all fronts. 🙂
Hugz to you and gratitude~
Such beauties, perfectly captured! And yes, love is all we need.
Love & peace!!! Thank you~

So pleased you think so !! <3 <3
Those eyes seems unreal. You’ve done a fabulous shots on these birds.
I am honored! Mil grazi~
The vibrant colors of birds’ feathers is just so amazing.
The feathers fascinate me too! So glad you like them too~
That birds has at least 10 distinct colored feathers.
Amazingly wonderful isn’t it!! Cheers to you~
The world needs love…I need it right now. 🙁
Sending it to you now, with hugs.good wishes, and best hopes~
Wow what elegant looking birds. I love the fact that you’ve captured the sheer brilliance of their colours.
Aren’t they just magnificent, especially close up so you can see the details of their feather! Thank you so much~
