Sunday Selections ... Birds


Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim or Frogspondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.

The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through Life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.

Last Sunday I started with the theme of Animals and today I'm continuing with birds. Many and varied I am sure you will agree.






White faced heron perching in our tree, sorry it is a little blurry.

If you look closely you will see there are now two white faced herons in our tree.

This and the following photos are of red capped parrots at Gloucester Tree, Pemberton WA.
We were swarmed while on a work trip.



One of the fattest Bronze wing Pigeons I have ever seen. Also at Gloucester Tree, Pemberton, WA

This and the remaining photos taken at Yanchep National Park when hubby and I went for a BBQ.
Ring necked or 28 Parrot, also knows and Port Lincoln Parrot

Kookaburra, Feral in WA but still a great bird.

Cheeky Magpie cleaning up the sausage crumbs.

Cheeky 28, wondering if there is anything left for him to share.
Tricked you, the Pelicans are coming but not until next week. A whole post devoted to us!!

    1. There are some rather special birds in Australia, we are really lucky with the varied nature of most, especially the parrots. Some of which are very unique and others which are much more widespread. Glad you liked them EC. xxx

  2. Always love to see the bird shots....but the car covered in parrots was the best I think.

  3. I've never seen a 28 parrot before, he's quite lovely. The kookaburra is a baby and so cute. We have magpies here, lots of them, I call them all Maggie and greet them when I see them. Hello Maggie, how are you today? and I haven't been swooped on at all since I've lived here.

    1. River, pretty sure our 28s and your Port Lincoln parrots are the same parrot, but with different common names. I will have to go and check my bird book to be sure. We have a swoopy magpie here at the moment, but it is nearly the end of nesting season so should be safe to walk again soon. He really doesn't like people on bikes though. Thanks for popping by xxx

  5. I popped in and had a quick look and loved all the pics. The parrots remind me of the kea parrots in NZ but they are very destructive and will tear pieces off people's cars, surfboards etc. Thanks for sharing some more lovely photos and look forward to the pelicans next week (one of Pop's favourite birds). xx
