Is it a "wildlife" photo if I shot it at a zoo?

Might do for a "Natural World" entry.

Pretty Bird.
Well, you wouldn't need to go to the jungle. Parrots fly wild in San Francisco. :)
This one was just a little less wild than they normally are. Which meant he would sit pretty for his picture.

Has sasha_khan seen this yet? He's gonna want it poster-size.
All silliness aside--although I must admit that my first thought when I saw the photo was "Sasha!"--that is a lovely candid portrait.

My ruling would be that this is wildlife but not "nature" because it's still a wild animal (one assumes) but not in a natural surrounding.

It's a wildlife photo. Putting wild creatures in zoos does not make them any less wild.
That's a great moment you've captured. That parrot looks just like a woman sniffing her wrist at the perfume counter. :)

A happily grooming macaw. Makes me miss my Hyacinth so!
