    Thanks for the comment Goth, and I only wish he was sitting on my hand, I would have taken him home. He was sitting on one of the workers hands,

    not exactly a baby, more like sub adult, it was about 12 months old, would reach full size in about 6 more months. They adjust to humans quite well, but is against the law to own one here. They live an average of 15 years.

    Love the shot - I can understand why you would want to take one home (cool looking bird).
