Great idea @Shaz51 ! Do you know what type of birds your photo is of?
I have a feeling I am going to learn a lot more types of birds here! 😁
@DogMan79 I had no idea you have birds! 😍 They are lovely! I know I have seen that type of bird before - but I have to admit I am really ignorant and don't recall what type they are. 😳 (embarrased). Are they a type of Budgie? or a parrot of some type?
@Bunniekins Well, I know 1 of the 3 birds you posted! 🤣 I recognise the cassowary lol. What are they other 2?
I feel I have seen the first pic before - the "like a dinosaur" looking bird lol - but no idea what it is.
Yesterday I saw lots of cockatoos (and heard them too lol). They come very close to our kitchen windows because of a birdbath they like to drink out of. 😊 I didn't take a photo though. We also sometimes get pretty Wattle Birds. And sometimes the little blue fairywrens (Supurb Fairywren google tells me they are actually called). Hopefully the other parrots will return also at some stage; crimson rosellas and eastern rosellas.

Ooh, thanks @Shaz51 😊
Looking forward to the male version pic coming through!
I feel like im a bird flitting around at the moment lol. I started my laptop to read a thread, and then thought my dog walker might be here so i kitted up my dogs and took them downstairs. But nope, he's not here! So now im waiting downstairs wirh my dogs excitedly waiting for their walk lol. And thus on my phone so im not yet reading the thread i am wanting to read and respond to (but want laptop for!) Lol.
And then i am only able to be here until my half-day assessments (study course) which start in 45min from *now* lol and run until after lunch.
I think i'm a finch right now! 😅 flit flit flit.
