Please Critique Zoo photographs...

I went to our local zoo yesterday and took some photographs. Our zoo isn't set up well for photography do to most of the animals are seen through glass or from above. I know they are not the greatest but the rain forest was my favorite place to go... Always has been. Even though your not supposed to interact with the animals, I do, every time I go there. They are friendly and kind to me so the zoo rules have to be stretched when I show up!
African Grey

vey nice, I liek your compositions and how close you got to the african grey. This is jsut an FYI, but do you know when shooting animals you want their eyes in focus. if the flamingo's eye was in focus I think it would be a stronger shot.

Thank you! Yes, "hints" she hates me. Normally when I show up there she runs into the wooded area of the forest. lol. She really doesn't like me for some reason. My wife can walk right up to her and she'll just stand there. Thanks for the tip on the "focus the eyes" I didn't know this. I normally try to focus the nose or in this case the beak and then compose. But she was actually running to hide...

#2 and #3 are beautiful. They look like paintings, especially the flamingos. She does look rather irritated with you! LOL
