What better way to finish a month of birds than with Joy (perhaps inevitable since the May 1 post :-).
It’s been fun to try to conjure up a different picture every day, and again credit to Linda (@linlovesart) for throwing out the challenge of posting a month of birds!

The most common bird around our place is the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. Quite destructive at times and always keen to get a drink. Here, you can almost hear them calling "Heh, fill it up!"
Are they having morning tea? Is it a family conference? Or just a get together by the Noisy Miners at the local bird bath….?

Some years back, this Cockatiel flew in… It had obviously been a pet as it was happy being around people. And then… one day it flew out again, no doubt looking to delight some other people.

A regular visitor to our house, but not to have a drink at the bowl! Usually, they sit on a branch or the washing line, looking for breakfast or lunch. And what a wonderful name… KOOKABURRA. [photo by Jane Taylor]

We’ve seen more of its smaller brother, the Little Wattlebird lately, but this is the Red Wattlebird. Or if you’d like its proper name, the Anthochaera ( don’t ask me how to pronounce it… )
Quite a striking bird, the Wonga Pigeon! We’ve only seen it once on the BirdCam…

Bronzewing Pigeons are regular visitors to the drinking bowl, often confusing it for a bathing bowl…

We’ve been seeing the Rainbow Lorikeets doing some "home maintenance" , so I decided to pull this photo of them out of the archive. We look forward to ‘our’ couple start another family this year.
[ you can see 4 birds, can’t you? ]
