It's like having David Attenborough in your backyard!

This Noisy Minah is vigorously attacking last years nest ( that had blown out of tree where it was last year) in search of prime building materials ( including fishing line) with which she is constructing this years hatchery. Thank christ it's in the house next door this time as they don't come by the name "Noisy Minah" lightly.

 Our old friend "Butch" a Crimson Rosella is still with us even he is looking a bit ragged around the edges.

Wesley, a fine example of a  male King Parrot has finally lowered himself to taking food from our hands.

 

Timmy.... Timmy, Timmy, Timmy, what to say about Timmy. 2 years ago a little baby Tim had an injured foot and could not keep up with its family. As it was the Christmas season and it  was crippled the name Tim seemed appropriate. We set up a safe place  with water and food both on and under our veranda.
Suffice to say she has thrived and flys and now comes with a boyfriend Tammy. He is thus named  because we thought Tim Tam was a good name for an Australian couple. After what we witnessed happening on the creek we are  now hopefully expecting Grand Ducklings this year.

This is a Pee Wee seeing off a Sea Eagle on the creek, as it must have been too near the nest.

 The neighbothood buck "Kevin" spent Sunday afternoon with us. This is a much better view of him than when he waits on the corner every morning to bound out in front of the car. He is a  beauty! The Joeys around here yield from a great  gene pool. He is massive and muscley.

Now what to say about nature's weirdest.......
