Yellow Canary 1 - Vancouver, CanadaThis is another shot of a tropical bird at the Bloedel Conservatory in Vancouver. The conservatory is a large, domed enclosure that supports a variety of tropical birds that fly freely and plants that grow in a hot house like environment. For safety and research, all of the birds are banded (note the red band on the leg). Unfortunately, I have not been able to identify the species. The photo was taken in March 2010, with an Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
