You've taken some wonderful photos of them. I used to feel this way about a woodpecker who for two or three years in a row would herald his arrival by sharpening his beak on the eaves outside our bedroom window. He was an annoying alarm clock ;)DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-57937871261156445622009-11-20T22:24:15.749+10:002009-11-20T22:24:15.749+10:00Beautiful birds.

Well initially I thought that those bird...Hi Diane<br /><br />Well initially I thought that those birds were those horrible "Indian Minor" birds, thankfully for you they are not. The "Indian Minors" - now at last considered pests - attack like the German Stukkas when they have young. I even saw them rip apart a budgerigar, which obviously escaped from it's cage. A fellow in the street and myself tried to rescue the poor bird but in it's panic, we couldn't catch it and then it was ripped to pieces where we couldn't get to due to fences.<br />These "Indian Minors" have got rid of all the little Australian birds in my area and probably your area - the finsches, the blue wrens and the lovely willy-wag tails. They eat all their eggs in the nesting period and then kill the birds. Really so sad.<br />I have a long last after years of putting up with the "long drawn out cries" , starting at about 2.00am discovered what the culprit is. If you happen to wake up you can't get back to sleep, and the noise finishes when the sun rises! It is non-stop! Cooee - cooee - non stop! It's a half magpie and half pee-wee. I saw the horrible noise polluter at last a week ago. It was sitting on the telephone pole across the road. How I wish I had had a gun!<br />Now re: your friendly Wallabies. Be careful, as you will have noted in todays press. One attacked a two year old in the Cairns area. She's lucky - when it is "mating season" the bucks can be vicious and are able to rip you apart with their hind legs, so don't get too close when you photograph them.<br />Great story above as always.<br />Cheers<br />"HB"HBnoreply@blogger.com
