Tight vision of a bird hidden by the night and its own feathers.

The image is indeed beautiful. Just as important though, thank you for raising the issue of capturing and domesticating those wonderful birds away from their habitat.

Still, I had a little problem with the picture of the parrot soaring into the night skies. I am NOT an expert on the Grey African Parrot, but it seems to me that as the parrot is vegetarian, it would be reluctant, like other day birds, to be active and exposed to carnivorous birds at night,. Am I wrong?

Do I have any problem with, say, a surrealist imagery? Of course not. I was just wondering if that was an intentional choice you made, or a detail you were not focusing on when you wrote it.

I know not the way of the parrot ~ but these small lines are words of beauty. Lovely rendering!
