Bird species ?

[jow104]

Could anyone please tell me the bird specie above?

[RufflyRustic]

Where's our resident fact checker when they are needed

I would hazard a guess at a Rosella or a Lorikeet, but then I'm always getting those two mixed up.

cheers

Crimson Rosella

[Wood Borer]

I agree with Bob.

It looks like one of ours John.

[jow104]

Many thanks,

I fed this bird earlier this year, I hope he got through the cold winter.

[jow104]

Yes Rob, is he still visiting?

[Wood Borer]

He/She and all his/her family still feed here every day. If we attempt to sleep in, either the Rosellas, King Parrots, Magpies, Currawongs or Bower Birds know where our bedroom is where they tap on the window or make a noise until we feed them!

AKA Criminal rosella

[Koala-Man]

Yep, it's the crimson rosella all right. The young ones sometimes have a bit of green in them too, mixed up in the blue on the wings. Devon's a long way from home.

[Bluegum]

Yep definatley a Crimson or also known a a mountain lowry in some places. Beautiful birds

[jow104]

And he loves poms.

[Cliff Rogers]

And he loves poms.

But I bet he couldn't eat a whole one.

[Wood Borer]

He's changed his accent since John was here, probably to lure John into a false sense of security before the ambush.

The call is now something like "I am not amused, Pom Pom Yum, Pom Pom Yum".

[Cliff Rogers]

That will be the mountain air.... it does that you know.

[Wood Borer]

I didn't realise John was into climbing mountains.
