It\u2019s always a delight to watch them preen or clean themselves in the tree above. As an ethical bird photographer, I strive to ensure that the birds are as stress-free as possible in all my captures. When they\u2019re happy, I\u2019m happy, and when I\u2019m happy, I get to frame my shot!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
