Presented by <a href="http://www.showstudio.com/"><span style="color:#ff00ff;">SHOWStudio</span></a>, the pictures are stunningly beautiful. Interesting how nature and evolution have created a palette of colour as gorgeous as, arguably more gorgeous than, any art created by human hands.</p>

<p>The only thing more beautiful that the photographs are the eight videos; little slow-motion epics of the perroquets in flight. The colours are so deep and brilliant it&#8217;s almost hard to believe that they&#8217;re only feathers.</p>
