The #RedWattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata) is a bird native to southern Australia.
It is the second largest species of Australian #honeyeater.
This beauty was so trusting. It was intently focussed on this discarded sweet on the footpath, pecking away and checking on me periodically as I photographed from only a few feet away.
The sexes are similar in plumage. And I read with interest that juveniles have less prominent wattles (1 cm or 1/2 inch long fleshy growths) on either side of their neck and browner eyes.

After the rain... the storm has passed, and it's grooming time for the local birds. Blurred and obscured King Parrots, a (possibly juvenile) Red Wattlebird, and an Eastern Rosella. Taken in Armidale NSW Australia. #birdsOfMastodon #birds #naturephotography #parrots #backyardbirds #KingParrots #RedWattlebird #EasternRosella #Armidale #NSW #Australia

Managed to squeeze in a spot of birding before the wedding practice this arvo in Canberra.
All found close to our accomodation.
A Red Wattlebird, Common Bronzewing, a pair of Galahs and a very cold Eastern Rosella.
