NOTES: The image above is of Grover and Shawn. Shawn is a collector of rare birds and Grover is a rare hyacinth macaw native to the central Brazilian Amazon region. Hyacinths are majestic creatures, the largest flying parrot species in the world. Shawn has trained Grover to perform in several of his dance company’s live theatrical shows. The two were great to work with and we all had a fun time capturing the duo’s playful nature. This image and more appear in a nice spread in the magazine.

This image also won 1st place in the “illustration” category in the National Press Photographers’ Association’s (NPPA) monthly clip content for the month of March. Click HERE to see more!
