    Default Some Birds I found Today

    I've mentioned I enjoy taking shots of birds a few times here so I thought I might show you some. This morning my wife and I went out and took various photos including these ones I got below.

    Both birds are reasonably common around our area. Although we've had both lately in our backyard I got these ones from around coastline a few k's away.

    1stly ... the Rose Breasted Cockatoo. We call them Galah's here in Aussie and, because they are funny to watch clowning around (they are renowned for hanging upside down or lying on their backs in the grass), we also call folks who clown around 'Galahs'.

    Blue Faced Honey Eater. The ones without the blue are juveniles.

    Thank you both.

    Nice They are great fun, though rather heavy to lug around!

    Thanks Marko.

    We don't see the Honey Eaters as often around here as the Galahs. In fact Galah's and Sulfur Crested Cockatoo's are daily visitors as are Rainbow Lorikeets ...

    Sulfur Crested Cockatoo (usually just called a White Cockatoo)

    You can have one! Noisy damn things are everywhere here
    There are times during the year when they aren't around but never for long. Most mornings they are in our bottlebrush tree at present.
