Surprise visitor at my back door

[Phil Spencer]

We had a surprise visitor this afternoon. A male King Parrot he looked hungry so we put some parrot food out he had a good feed and a drink and went on his way

Beautiful bird... lucky you


We have planted our garden full of natives with the hope of encouraging native birds into the yard. We also have a couple of feeders and have been getting a number of Crimson Rosella's and a couple of Rainbow Lorikeets in. Love the sound of 10-15 parrots chirping away at each other while I'm sitting down to enjoy a coffee in the morning

We have rainbow Lorikeets come down to my apple core tree, I call it an apple core tree because that's all they leave me I figure thay have a need to eat and it is a small price to have the birds come down, its the first time I have had a king Parrot he brings the number of species that have visited up to 23

Nice shot!

We have a King Parrot round here somewhere. I hear him but haven't yet seen him.

We've got a family of brown fantails made a nest in our ornamental pear tree in the backyard. Nest is about 3 inches across and maybe 4 inches deep. We watched the little birds making the nest, then watched momma bird sitting on her eggs, and now we have three little babies with their eyes just open. Nice that a tree we've planted has become home to a family.
