Birds At Our Window - Winter 2014
The Bush/Brush Turkey we saw as a chick has returned as a beautiful full grown lady - traditionally a symbol of abundance, this hen is among a growing flock that perch, and chirp...the Kookaburras and Lorikeet families that inhabit the tall spotted gums in our front yard return at least two to three times each year to show the newest now flying young, in between daily twitterings, and the larrikins of the bird world, a flock of cockatoos we bought seed for during the harsh drought of a few years ago, drop by regularly to try and get us to believe we are in drought times again - a ploy we're not falling for.
There is also a resident Australian Raven, a Currawong and family of Magpies whose song brings bliss to our mornings and dusks from the tall old gums that rise through the back yard.
This week, since it has been weeks since we've run a page filled with birds, a few snaps from our own family album of feathered delightful visitors and residents. This is what can happen when you decide to keep the Australian Environment in your Australian environment!
