Birds from Queensland.

This is a bit of a test for yall.
What is this ? :O)

A bird with major gastro-intestinal problems.

LOL Margaret.
I have more than a dozen Bird species that come to eat and pick through 'Horse Poop'.
I for one personally don't understand what they see in it. :-(((

So you are wrong.

These guys are very timid.
Every now and again I catch them by surprise.
And My Camera is always with me.

Yep, both!

Pipits occur here too, this one's a Rock Pipit

Resin

They share the Horses stirrings with the Willy Wagtails a lot.
I guess the Horsed stir up the Insects.

Nice picture Resin.
How do you get so close ?

Look at the dirty beaks on these two guys.
What a pair of Gallahs ! ;-)

Picture # 2.

Here in Ozz we are having a bit of a discussion on how Birds pick up food.
With their left or right leg ?
Could be the “Topic for a new Thread”.
This particular one is ‘right’.

Nice shots Ginger! Those Gallahs are so pretty (when their not picking up poop,lol. )

Here are the rest of my better Galah Pictures. :- )

Sweet!

Yewwwww they must really be desperate to dig in Horse Poop. But from your pics, it's seems more like a delicacy to them. :)
The Galah and Fairy Wren are really lovely. I received and email today, of birds from your country, and the Fairy Wren couple and the female Bowerbird were in it. Thanks to you, I recognized it, from your shots.

Thank you Burn.

Another Picture # 2.

Picture # 3.

Very pretty!

When I am riding up the driveway on the Ride-On Mower.
These guys like to play chicken with me.
They fly up behind me, then pass on my right and swerve and cut me off.
All this whilst they are screeching at full volume.
Can you imagine this sound coming up behind you ??? :O( [play it loud]

Same group.

Sharing the Feeder with others.
Picture taken from inside Studio.

Fabuluous pics. Ginger. Their call are loud!

Thanks again Lily.

I am adding the bird calls so yall can at least hear what we have to put up with.
My next group of Pictures will be The Rainbow Lorikeet. (Trichoglossus haematodus)
I have posted this old Picture on dg before.

How many Birds can any one count ?

18

Yes Pell, one tricky one has his tail showing only. ;-)

This pair were making romance.
I had to censor two shots due to Children regularly visit this site I am told.

They are beautiful!

This Picture needs a caption.
Only a female would know what she is think. :--)

Last Picture before the action.

Really sweet!

Not a minute later she is at the front door of her new home checking out the decor.
Male is still sitting on mating branch at top of Picture.

Terrific pictures! Beautiful birds!

I must say we get a little blasé about all our Birds Lily.

I for one, personally don't understand what Birds see in 'Horse Poop'.
And this is the worst offender.
All he needs is a pair of horns and he would look like Satan.
Any one know what it is ? [I don't]

Great shots, Ginger. I love the one of the Rainbow Lorikeets in the tree. That's the one I was talking about earlier. Thanks for finding it.

The birds in your last post are White-winged Choughs. The white is under the wings and is used in courtship displays.

Thanks Margaret,
Now I can Google them and learn about them.

Your ID of these Birds has solved one of my biggest Bird mysteries.
These Pictures are 2 years old.
I always thought they were Pied Currawong. [silly me]
And they are indeed White-winged Choughs.
I’m not trying to correct you but both these next Pictures of mine are of the Bird in flight.
Both Pictures were taken from above the Bird as they were landing in a tree.
The white is definitely on top.
