This is super cute, Nate.
It really looks like they have a conversation.
Beautiful, birds, perch and background.

Very nice capture and interaction. The wings of the flying bird look somewhat ragged.

This is smoking. There isn't really anything left to say.

Nate, this is awesome. I love the way the bird on the right has an open beak.... I can just image the chatter! I think it is beautifully presented and so well shot!

Really nice work Nate! I really like the interaction shown here and the poses on both look great. The flower, the BG and the open beak of the owner of the flower all look fantastic. Only wish the incoming bird wasn't molting, but what can ya do. Well done.
