I don't know if these yellow wattle birds have been transported or escapees
but this is their third spring they have been around here.
Five have been sighted at once. They are definitely Yellow Wattle birds with
their Yellow dangling ear. They mainly hang around about in a four block
radius and for a short period while the Flowering Quinces are their usual
mass of red flowers. There are the usual many Red Wattle Birds as well but
they are around all year.

Orange is a long way from Tasmania.
Perhaps you were misled by the yellow patch on the belly of the Red
Wattlebird?
