My very first Bird Photography: A Red Macaw.

in photography •  6 years ago 
I'll start with the random fact that I'm afraid of birds. When I was little a rooster sort of attacked me, he chased me for a few meters. I was at my grandparent's old farm, it was almost 20 years ago and I still remember it as it was yesterday. At that time they used to have few animals, chickens, hens, some pigs and a couple of horses and cows, and of course.. Roosters. That day all I remember was getting into the "chicken's pen" (I don't even know how it's called) to play with the little chickens and one rooster got me! Since that day, I've been so scared of all types of birds.

It's not a phobia, I can be around them I just rather not. I wouldn't have a bird as a pet or get close to a bird for my own will. Yesteday I went to a friends country house and for my own surprise.. SHE HAD A RED MACAW. I'm not gonna lie, the bird was beautiful but it still had that beak and bird claws.. Uuugh, it gave me chills! After co-existing in the same physical space for a while with Leandro (that's the name of the feathered beast), I felt less worried about him, to the point I got like so close to take him a photo with my phone.

Made the photo using my smartphone Moto G5 S Plus.

With all this been said, I must admit I admire those people who love taking photos of birds, for two reasons: First it's so hard, they're never still and second, they're sneaky. This reminds me of a Steemit friend who has many amazing photos of birds, that's you @papilloncharity, see? I'm overcoming my fear.

Wow! Lady Vanessa, you were so close to the parrot that you could have kissed him. Well done and I am so proud of you. The Rooster only attacked you because he was protecting his flock and his territory. A Ram (goat) once sent me head over heels as I went too close to their kid. Shame the ordeal with the Rooster will soon start to fade away as you meet more interesting birds! Well done once again! Blessings!

The kissing part is way too dared lol! When I got close to him I just thought about telling you haha!

Well it's a start at least! Now to get you close to some Roosters!
