This isn't a question of any kind, just thought I would share something I love about the place I live.
We have now been getting frequent visits from some wonderful guests for a while now. We get regular visits from the following birds:
About 9 Rock doves (so gorgeous!)
Somewhere between 3-6 28 birds (those big green parrots)
A willy wagtail
2 or 3 peewees.
We have a bird feeder set up near our fence, and they all compete for the food often.
The 28s are big bullies, often stopping the rock doves from getting to the seed. They are so gorgeous, how they strut along the fence.
The rock doves are gorgeous, and the peewees are very bold, often walking around in our undercover outdoor area.
We also get the occasional pink and gray galahs. The other day, our cat was trying to sneak up on some of the birds, and ended up stuck near the fence, looking very displeased and scared of the Galahs (they swooped it :p)
Today, the cat repeated its former mistake, this time being swooped by 28 birds :p
Will try and take some photos of the birds :P they are so gorgjus :p
