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.

Juvenile Blue-Faced Honeyeater
This Blue-faced honeyeater wasn't too impressed with the rain. I have witnessed siblings feeding and watching over each other when the parents are away from them. The juvenile's face is olive-green, their bib is grey. They are very playful and even though they are known be aggressive, I have never seen this behavior in these birds. They are always chased by the more territorial birds. They forage in foliage, blossoms and fruit
