Problems? Your computer may refuse to show anything other than an empty box. If so, and you are using Windows 7 as the webmaster does, fixing the problem is most simple. Print the image you will come to here & follow the few instructions. In other browsers I presume that you would follow the same approach i.e. get to the 'Java' program on your computer & fix the security level.

Of course you do need to install 'Java' to be able to see it. Easily done! It installs quickly & it is free. Just click on 'Free Java Download' here.

The webmaster is well familiar with this little bird, a Peachface lovebird, having kept them for many years. His favourite is however the Black Masked lovebird, which despite its name is most colourful with brilliant yellow & green plumage, black head & white eye. Lovebirds come from Africa & there are many subspecies, some of them extremely rare in the wild & in captivity. The image came, many years ago now, from the parrot section of the now long gone Soviet 'PhotoArt of Nature' website. The photographer is unknown.
