This is an interesting capture. I see that the birds fluffed themselves to keep warm and get dry. Apparently the rain stopped. You captured good detail. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of color and light and the refinement of detail. The sun reflections on the plumage are interesting. The birds are well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
I also appreciate your interesting information about the species.

Great photograph of these two birds sitting close to each other. It looks like one is talking and the other is listening, great moment to capture.
Wonderful colors and details and so informative description; I have never seen these in the nature.
Thank you for sharing!

These are intriguing birds , you have captured them well , I like the way they are placed within the frame and their positions on the branch.
Well defined feathers , nice clear faces. I like the open beak on the near one and the clear eyes.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is correct, colors and tones appear natural.
Well composed and presented! Your notes are interesting, informative and appreciated!
