Sorry NL, you butted in when I was speaking to Robbie.

Actually, I don't know what he was talking about as I had Rob for a name and you had Winnie, so he appears confused.

Anyway, Winniebago =Winnie Bay Go. = in BC Spake Winnie doesn't go. Sorry. Off for a lie down down. It's Robbie's fault, he got it wrong in the first place.

This is the latest photo of my Robin.

Wow!! that is beautiful

is it still the suet mix you give him
I must get some

Yes, called something like Suet to go, I get it from the local pet shops. It's cheaper than the RSPB stuff, which is just as well, as I'm getting though 5 bags a week! We'll have the biggest population of Tits and Robins in the Country!

It was really lovely yesterday. There was plenty of food on the tables and feeders for him. Yet he followed me round the garden singing to me and waited to be hand feed. I think I'm in love.

We have a flock of several hundred Sulphur Crested Cockatoos which like to land in our trees and make a lot of noise.

The leader of a flock is a cheeky thing that will hand upside down and say "Hello" and several other words in an apparent attempt to win you over and ignore the mess they are making.

They can live to be over 100 years of age!!!



We have a smaller flocks of Rosella that visit every day.



My wifes favorite bird is the Kookaburra. The house is full of Kookaburra paintings, sculptures, stuffed toys etc etc.

You have to watch your food when having a meal outside because they love to steal any meat.



We are constantly surrounded by noisy birds of all types and I have some terrific pictures of visiting Oldbury cousins covered by them after ignoring our warning not to feed them.

A bit like a scene out of Hitchcock movie "The Birds".

Fabulous photos Mark

About a dozen sulphur-crested cockatoos were released from the Ferntree Gully National Park when the Park was threatened by a bush fire in the 1960s.
Several of those captive cockatoos were talking ones. Consequently, since that time, the cockatoo population in the Hills has exploded and quite a few of these apparently wild birds do actually talk.

If they were copying me in their talking, they would be quite offensive, as I scream and yell expletives at them when they're eating my window-frames!

Our King Parrots are still visiting regularly, and bringing an increasing number of offspring along.
