Some lovely pics of Aussie birds - just because they are beautiful and unique. This is a Pink Robin and is native to south eastern Australia. Pretty damn cute.
These are Red-tailed Cockatoos. Three just like these have been making a racket and a mess snacking on eucalyptus at our place recently.
Aboriginal man Ymntji Regan from the Prescribed Burns? Facebook group I belong to said this about them:
'Partners for Life ! a fragile existence. The female totally dependent on the male. Whilst nesting he brings her and the newly hatched food back to Hollow that she uses every year. She never leaves the nest. If there is a fire he will not return to the nest, mostly because of the Danger Element. Sadly she will die with the young if not by the fire but starvation. If he dies and she lives - she will never breed again with another male.

Finishing off with some more fluffy cuties. We see these little guys, or their close relatives, on our bush block every day when they swoop in to grab a feed and disappear back into the dense scrub.

Wow! These are such beautiful birds. The colors are so vibrant and lovely. Love seeing these photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin. That little robin would translate so well into a little cartoon style character.
