Better Than A Fairy Tale
Could I love this little bird more than the others, well probably not because we have so beautiful birds here in Australia but he would have to be one of my favourite. He certainly keeps me entertained when out and about in our garden. The Scaly-Breasted Lorikeet is a small bird being only 22-24cm in size and is the only Lorikeet with an unmarked green head and the neck and breast has a distinctive yellow scaly pattern. Their bill and eyes are red but in a juvenile their bill is brownish and they have less yellow in plumage They associate...
Larrikin Rainbow Lorikeet
I love capturing the Rainbow Lorikeet also known as Blue Mountain Parrot and Red-collared Lorikeet. They would be one of the most expressive birds that I know. Their antics and gestures are just beautiful. They certainly like to entertain those watching them. The colors of their feathers are vibrant and rich and combine together to give the WOW factor. They feed all year round at our property in the flowering natives. Size: 25-32cm No other Australian parrot has streaked blue head and orange chest. Their desired habitat is rain forests, eucalypt forests, woodlands, paperbark woodlands, coastal banksia, scrubs, heaths, mangroves,...
A Special Very Cheeky Crimson Rosella
Selecting one of my photos to be printed on canvas then framed, is a very difficult time consuming project, often involving going through hundreds and hundreds of great photos. Then all of a sudden you see a photo that puts the biggest smile on your face, a photo that you experienced a special connection with and you know that is the photo to have done. That was the case with this unbelievable Crimson Rosella It wasn't long after my Mum passed away, and I was standing in a garden taking photos of a handsome male King Parrot I wasn't expecting...
Male King Parrot
This Male King Parrot just flew into our backyard yesterday. He has been hanging around here since he was a young juvenile, now he has bought his female friend and his young male juvenile chick only out of the nest for a few days. Where we live it is very hot and humid, and we have lived here for 28 years and we have never seen them here before, then about last April they showed up and stayed around. They usually are more up on the tablelands and mountains. I won't complain as they make our garden look pretty with...
Our First Set Of Cork Baked Placemats and Coasters
So why did we select the Male Scarlet Honeyeater to feature on our first Cork Backed Placemats and Coasters when we have so many lovely images of Australian Native Birds to choose from? Our eldest son and his partner bought me a bird book for Christmas a few years ago. The book was written by Graham Pizzey and it was illustrated by Frank Knight The name of the book is 'The Field Guide To The BIRDS OF AUSTRALIA' This book has great detail and information helping to make bird identification a little easier. I was intrigued by the Scarlet Honeyeater...
