Good morning fellow Tooters. Have a wonderful Thursday and enjoy this cheeky King Parrot. #ParrotOfTheDay
A wild crimson rosella sitting on wire mesh protecting the feed zone from cockatoos. It's eating a corn kernel, held in its right claw. Various parrots and other smaller birds come and go as they please.

I've seen a few variations in colour schemes on local king parrots, but this is the most radical. Not bright orange (adult male), green (females & young males), or even mottled (teenage boys😂), this one has a grey head & neck, and the rest of its colour is relatively pale & washed out.
When I cropped the pic, I noticed I'd half caught another king parrot in the background, wearing an unusual pale green neck band. 🤷♂️

Sulphur crested #cockatoos seeking the seasons bounty in and under liquidambar (liquidambar styraciflua) trees.
By the time they're finished, 10% of the foliage will be on the ground.

Trying again, hopefully with working video this time.
A short clip of the large yellow tailed black cockatoo that was outside my bedroom window today. One of my favourite birds, and not a newcomer to the area, unlike the destructive white sulphur crested cockatoos. Their favourite food is banksia serrata cones, which is the tree it's sitting in. You can see a cone to the right of frame.

I haven’t posted a photo for a few days, but we had a random #Dinosaur visitor today awaiting its time on the bird feeder, a Magpie Lark.

This young king parrot nearly flew into my head. Very tame.

I have just had the most extraordinary encounter with a #Dinosaur that has never before visited our garden, a King #Parrot !
It sat on the roof of our #Bird feeder while I walked (slowly) up to it and put out the seed, then stayed there as I walked back - normally all the #Birds fly away as soon as they see me.
