Good composition :-) The bird looks like he/she is hiding behind the feathers :-)

Thank you! It took me three trips to the zoo to get this shot, the sky was too overcast the other times ;)

They're so close that you COULD pet them at this zoo, but they're biters, so petting them probably wouldn't be a good idea. I shot him at a few other angles, this one turned out the best though.
