This is ‘Chook’ at Adelaide Zoo…. he can imitate many different birds and a myriad of mechanical noises too. After we recorded him, we held the camera close to the enclosure and played it back to him. He stopped, cocked his head and listened intently. It was wonderful!

Bird Photography

Bird Watcher, Bird Photographer
By Nicholas Farrow

There are people who love spending time just watching birds. Others, however, are not content with simply watching the birds and want to capture their flight on film. But taking pictures of birds is not easy work, especially if you want to take pictures of them in flight. Bird photography indeed requires a lot of patience, good reflexes, and a healthy bit of luck. And while professional photographers can spend several days looking for that perfect shot, most of us do not have the luxury of time. So here are some tips that will help you take excellent photos of birds without taking up too much of your time. And yes, these tips will guide you in taking pictures of birds in flight as well.

First, you will have to take your equipment into consideration. If you are using film then you will need one that has a speed of at least 800 to take pictures of birds in flight. Film of lower speed is acceptable if you are planning to take photos only of birds at rest. Another thing you need to remember when taking pictures of birds in flight is that your shutter speed should be adjusted to the fastest that the light will allow. A telephoto lens and zoom lenses are necessary since it is almost impossible to approach birds. You may use a tripod, but make sure that you can easily remove your camera in case you see birds in action elsewhere.

Once your equipment is ready for bird photography, you will have to take note of a few things included in the actual photo. Each type of bird has a distinctive shape and silhouette, and you will need to capture that unique shape in order to make your picture a good one. For example, some birds may look better in a picture when their wings are open, especially if you are photographing them when they are in the sky. You will also have to decide whether you want to focus on the bird alone or give your picture a sense of place. Whatever you decide, bear in mind that a fast shutter speed has the tendency to blur the background.

Remember that everything you see will appear smaller in print, so try to let your subject fill as much of the frame as possible without making the picture too crowded. This is where your telephoto lens will be most useful. Always have an extra ounce of patience in store. Birds have the uncanny tendency to move into the perfect photography angle just as you have given up on it, so this is the best time to remember that patience is a virtue. More importantly, take notes of your bird photography experience. Note which birds are easier to photograph and which ones get startled easily. These little bits of information will be very useful the next time you take out your camera and “shoot” some birds.

Bird Buying Tips

Important Tips When Evaluating Birds For Sale!
By Curtis D. Olsen

Most of the people around the world are fascinated by pets because they entertain their life and also show love and care. The trend of having a dog or cat is quite up all around the world but people are also interested in raising birds. It is because birds are quite cute, intelligent, have beautiful colors and they can also speak. So, this article is all about tips when evaluating birds for sale. You should know that not all the species of birds are same. They have different needs and requirements and you should pay proper attention while choosing them as a pet.

Though, finding an alluring and colorful pet is quite a hectic task but if you follow the tips I am going to discuss in my article, you can easily buy a perfect bird as a pet. The very first step you have to keep in mind is the size of your pet. Always remember, bigger the size of the bird, higher will be the responsibilities. So, before buying a pet of bigger size make sure that you have enough patience and juices to take care of the pet. The second thing you have to remember while buying a bird as a pet is to train him. Do not forget that training of a bird is quite difficult and requires a lot of time and patience.

So, being an expert in the field of birds I will highly recommend you to give a start by choosing a small bird. This technique will help you to take care of it easily and it will also require low maintenance as compare to the bird bigger in size. It’s been said from time to time that a bird is a social creature but they have different nature and needs and these personality difference varies from one species to another.

Moreover, before buying a bird you should research its habits and nature as well. You can get such information from my website also. Well, few birds are quite loud and they are also very active. If this nature is acceptable by you then do buy that bird. On the other hand, if you are quite silent nature wise then do not buy an active smart bird because it will not suit your personality and you will easily be irritated by him.

I am sure that these tips when evaluating birds for sale are quite informative for you. For more, please visit my website.
