These parrots, the fruit dove in the previous shots, as well as a couple of species I'll add in the future, are all in the same enclosure - a large, Plexiglas-fronted cage, with no natural sunlight, alongside of the path to the tigers. There are electric lights, angled from the top, near the glass, which are probably also heat lamps, but they aren't bright enough for good photography. The viewing area is dark, making it hard for the animals (lucky for them) to see the viewers. I'm so proud of myself for resisting the temptation to say something about the seeds on his beak.
