Birdservations

#BrownDoves fight furiously with each other, & unsuccessfully threaten smaller birds.
#BronzewingPigeons avoid trouble, completely panicking around real danger.
#BarShoulderedDoves wait for troublemakers to go.
#WongaPigeons? Nope, already gone.
#KingParrots keep out of non-royal trouble. Royal disputes OTOH... 👊
Timid #Rosellas get really angry with each other, continuing brawls in mid air. They happily fight bigger doves.

Parrots pull tails.

Backyard birds - King Parrots appreciating the prunus flowers this morning. And by appreciating it seems they mean eating them... but that's fine with me :) #birds #birdsOfMastadon #naturephotography #backyardbirds #Armidale #NSW #Australia #KingParrots

Backyard birds. The recent warm winter weather has some of the trees in blossom, which the King Parrots are enjoying. #birdsOfMastodon #birds #naturephotography #backyardbirds #Armidale #NSW #Australia #KingParrots

Frontyard birds today. Acorns, while not native to Australia, are apparently a tasty treat for parrots. In this case King Parrots. Armidale NSW Australia. #birdsOfMastodon #birds #naturephotography #birdphotography #Armidale #NSW #Australia #KingParrots

After the rain... the storm has passed, and it's grooming time for the local birds. Blurred and obscured King Parrots, a (possibly juvenile) Red Wattlebird, and an Eastern Rosella. Taken in Armidale NSW Australia. #birdsOfMastodon #birds #naturephotography #parrots #backyardbirds #KingParrots #RedWattlebird #EasternRosella #Armidale #NSW #Australia
