Yesterday we had 14 gang
gangs in our garden. They usually squabble a lot but at one time there
were 7 on the circular feeder at the same time. No snaps as the photographer in
the family was not around at the time.
Of course no room for the
king parrots, so I was feeding a male by hand. He was perched on a vine and I
had my arm out with seed in my palm. Suddenly a young male gang gang landed on
my wrist. With its strong beak and big feet I was pretty anxious but it
proceeded to gently take the seed out of my palm, one at a time.
Something entirely
different. The latest National Library magazine (June) has 2 articles of
interest. One on budgerigars by Penny Olsen and one on John Gould, by Rosslyn
Russell, who has recently put out a book on Gould. The magazine is readily
available at the National Library.
