I was about to head downstairs to the workshop, when along came two King Parrots looking for a snack, so I put some seed out for them and settled back with the camera.
I think I need some form of complicated reflector setup for these afternoon shots, where the light is terrible on the feeder.

Another superb signal traffic control box decorated with an #Australian #parrot… this one’s in #CaulfieldNorth #Australia.

I believe it is an #AustralianKingParrot. Let me know if you think it’s something different.

They’re a colourful forest parrot and hang out throughout eastern Australian woodlands, forests, and gardens.

Feeds on fruiting trees and seeds and often comes to gardens and feeders… like many birds these days, they’ve become somewhat urbanised. Some are bred and kept as household pets.

Interesting fact: Life expectancy of the Australian king parrot in the wild is unknown, but some pets have been known to live up to 25 years.

It’s cute, hey?!
