No new birds


The King Parrots have visited the sunflowers to gorge on the seeds. I am posting this very similar photo to the Rosellas  because I have no new bird for this week.

I saw a little silver eye in the walnut tree (they migrate at this time of year), a New Holland Honeyeater on the fence, heard Cockatoos screeching in the trees, woke to a Kookaburra laughing at dawn and in the afternoon doves were cooing somewhere in the distance but none of them came near when I had a camera.

In fact, I haven't had my camera out much lately so posting is likely to be sporadic for a while.

  1. I love its acrobatics to collect the seed and the fact he appears to be a very orderly eater.

    1. They were very orderly. Have cleaned up those seed heads completely.

  2. It's nice to see the King Parrot at your place. They're such friendly birds aren't they.

    1. Yes they are friendly. Don’t run away at the slightest movement like rosellas do.

  4. I guess it's the nature of birds to eat upside down sometimes. I posted a couple of ducks eating the same way yesterday.

  6. Great pic. It's amazing what positions they will get themselves into when food is involved. Especially sunflower seeds! :-)

    1. I guess we would be as inventive if we were hungry.
