Photos wanted for paintings

I posted this elsewhere too. As some of you know, I am an artist specializing in pet portraits. I will be attending the Canadian Parrot Conference again this fall and would like photos of parrots to use as reference photos to do paintings. The best photos are taken using natural light either outside or through a window. It is usually best to stand between the light source and the subject as well. If anyone here is interested I would love to see their photos and possibly use them to do paintings.

Thanks

How about this one?

This is my favorite Picture of Stitch. I took it today. It would make a great painting.

These are in my album but my fave pics of my fids are in flight. That last one used to be my avatar until I made a composite (which needs to be updated to include Chaska), it's my little Shaka as a baby. I just love how it shows his bright spirit!
