These are some of the birds seen recently in our backyard.
What are the chances these birds will show up during bird week?

Wow! To have those beauties visit my garden would be amazing! Must be lots of shrubbery around to have Double-barred Finches living there. Although I daresay for the survey, they'll be suddenly replaced with some Mynahs and Turtle-doves? ;)
ReplyDeleteA great series of photos of beautiful birds. I wish some of those would turn up in my yard - especially the Pale-headed Rosella!
ReplyDeleteThese are some wonderfully colorful birds! I can't wait to visit Australia in the near future to see them for myself.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous collection. I'll definitely be ticking starlings, mynas, noisy miners (but most days will have rainbow lorikeets, pied currawong, grey butcherbird - it's not all misery)
ReplyDeletelove the 'owl finches' aka the double-barred. had a pair many years back. sad they were probably captured and imported with the pet trade.
ReplyDeleteWonderful birds! The colourful parrots are always a favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting birds. Great shots.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see that the Australian King Parrot is different male to female with their plumage, like the Eclectus parrots. Great captures, I hope you have a successful survey day!
