We don't get too many of these larrikins hanging around our place. Plenty of their cousins, the pink & grey galah and a variety of parrots. These fellows often fly over but rarely stop to eat.
Photographed recently, snacking on a hand-out of sunflower seeds in our front yard.
(The dish is fixed to the stump of what was once a beautiful weeping cherry tree. Then the rains stopped).
I tried to get them to raise the crest by making a bit of a disturbance, but they were too accustomed to urban living to be alarmed by some bloke making silly noises!
A lovely bird. Just a pity that they screech so loudly - usually at dawn!

Sorry for the randomness of this, i mean no disrespect but are you the Bruce Kennewell who used to create routes for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2004?
ReplyDeleteOne and the same, yes. And no apology is needed; if I post my name on the 'net then I must expect people to make contact.
ReplyDeleteI have had not involvement with Trainz for over 5 years, however.
