I have just been enjoying an early
Autumn morning in my garden in Deakin.
At 9:30am, my house was adorned with:
- a pair of Yellow-tailed Black Cockies (presumably
the same pair that I have been seeing around here for the past three
weeks)
- a pair of Gang-gangs
- 1 Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (and others flying some
hundreds of metres away)
- 2 Crimson Rosellas
- 1 Eastern Rosella
Beyond the Psittaciformes, there were:
- 1 Satin Bowerbird (green)
- 2 Red Wattlebirds
- 6 Australian Magpies
- 4 Pied Currawongs
- 15 Rock Doves flew over
and, heard but not seen,
- Spotted Pardalotes and
- Silvereyes.
As I have observed here before, the YTBCs received
considerable attention from the Magpies, Currawongs and the SCC. Clearly
they think that the YTBCs are foreigners.
