Babies Growing Up
Up until last summer I had never seen a juvenile King Parrot, in fact I hadn't even seen a King Parrot male or female until April 2019. Since then they have frequently visited our property. It started with 2 females and 1 male juvenile King Parrots which was amazing as we were able to watch the male transform into the stunning male that he is with his all red head and chest. This first juvenile Male had his first chick last summer and the Male and female bought him down to show him off to my husband and I. Normally...
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...
Good Things Come In Small Packages

Gentle Giants
It is amazing that Pelicans have been around for so long. Fossil evidence of pelicans dates back at least 30 million years and it would be hard to believe that these very gentle birds could ever be a species of the dangerous dinosaurs. I loved travelling to the coast with my Mum and Dad and siblings when we were little and enjoyed watching in sheer amazement these great big white angels of the sky, the way they silently and gracefully glided around with very little effort. Along the waters edge, they would waddle up near us, I suppose they...
