A Bowl Of feathers and Color
The King Parrots never disappoint me I get the opportunity to photograph them. These photos were all taken at O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat Qld a couple of years ago and just never got around to posting them. Iam lucky as I don't have to travel now to get my King Parrot photos as I have my own little family of them visit us on our property and come to almost arms reach of us while relaxing under our patio. But I thought I would share these few photos to show how socialable, colorful and charming they are. The male has lovely...
A Naughty Rosella
The Pale-Headed Rosella is found in Queensland and Northern New South Wales. The featured photo is of a Juvenile and I must say he does look very innocent in this photo. I don't know what my problem is with this bird, but I find them very difficult to get a good photo. Their eyes are black too which makes it hard to get that twinkle in their eye, but I don't think I have a connection with this bird. It is very destructive in our garden, landing in our Grevillea trees and bushes and just snapping off the whole...

Curious Cockatoo
A very well known Australian Character is the Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo They most certainly have their place in the Australian Landscape. Everyone loves the Cockatoo, well almost everyone apart from the few people who like to have peace and quiet around them. The Cockatoo is well know for its loud shattering screeches They Breed from May-Sept in Northern Areas of Australia and from Aug-Jan in southern parts of Australia. The female will lay 2-3 eggs I captured this photo below very early in the morning and there were plants behind them, I had a shallow depth of field and with their...
Large Honeyeater Family
There is 190 species of Honeyeaters,roughly half of them are Native to Australia. Many Australian Native trees and plants are fertislised by the honeyeaters, plants such as Proteaceaer and the Ericaceae and Myrtaceae Unfortunately I haven't photographed all of them at this stage but hopefully will get many of them in our future road trips. The Striped honeyeater just below was a delight when I spotted him in one of our native trees recently being only 21-23 cm in size but it did keep itself very well hidden in the thick growth. Another one I spotted for the first time...
