There are so many birds we have not identified yet but many different species and some we only see occasionally ! wild ducks, different water birds, and many different finches & wrens. We hear owls at night, big hawks and our neighbour even has Swans on her dam.
PART OF OUR MUCH LOVED (APOSTLE BIRD FAMILY) THEY ARE SO TAME, AND WE SPREAD SEED FOR THEM ALL DAILY. THEY COME IN WAVES, THE COCKATOOS BEING THE HEAD OF THE PECKING ORDER, BUT EVERYONE SEEMS TO GET A FAIR GO.
OUR GALAH FAMILY! THE TWO BABIES EMERGED & WERE PREPARING TO TAKE FLIGHT!
ONE OF OUR 'GOANNA'S" BLACK & YELLA FRAUDS- AS DESCRIBED IN ONE OF BANJO PATTERSONS POEMS! WE ENCOURAGE THEM, THEY DINE ON OUR DUCK EGGS! THIS BLOKES ONLY A YOUNGSTER, BUT HE HAS FIGURED OUT WE WON'T HURT HIM SO HE'S PRETTY CASUAL.
ONE OF OUR MAGGIES, WE HAVE PLENTY! LOTS OF KING PARROTS TOO, GOTTA GET SOME CLOSE UPS! OF THEM.
