Very interesting contrast of birds like these setting up a happy home in a saguaro. You got my curiosity up with these birds in a saguaro since they don't look like natives so had to look them up.

These guys are native to the Namib Desert in Africa but domestics brought into Phoenix as pets have turned into a feral population in the local deserts. Neat catch to shoot these specimens.

Beautiful shots

Very cool looking Tom. I have never seen them in the desert, that had to be cool to find and shoot.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

Wow what a very cool find , awesome!

Nice capture, Tom. There used to be a nice feral population at the Riparian Preserve at Gilbert Ranch but I haven't seen any there for quite a while now.
