I believe this is a type of #Hawthorn.

It’s fruit looks delightful.

Bright and vibrant, the fruit even shines in the late afternoon sunlight . It must attract the birds big time.

I think It was this same kind of larger fruiting tree, that was being stripped a few weeks back at sunset, in a leafy #melbourne suburb (near #Kew), by at least 150+ #longbilledcorella.

It was like a scene out of that movie ‘The Birds’… a real mess of leaves, fruit and branches strewn over the road and footpath.

They were screeching and chortling, a real dynamic and noisy scene to behold.

Never quite observed anything like that in suburbia.

This gorgeous Washington Hawthorn (I believe it is) was snapped in #Bentleigh #Australia.

Snapped just now, these four #longbilledcorella - and one pair are taking a midday snooze in a #gumtree in #Oakleigh #Australia.

Maybe two pairs of mates?

They’re a cockatoo native to Australia… these ones are mostly white, with a reddish-pink face and forehead, and has a long, pale beak, which is used to dig for roots and seeds.

It has reddish-pink feathers on the breast and belly.

They can be noisy (when not snoozing!) especially in numbers.
