    You are so lucky to have such wonderful birds to view! I love the birds in my backyard. They are very entertaining to watch. Yours would keep me entertained for hours!

    When l was a kid my dad would put raw meat on the balcony ballistrade and the kookaburras would come down and eat the meat they got so used to us we could hand feed them.

    Lisa, you are so fortunate to have such colorful "exotics" in your backyard! I think the most exotic I get here are my pretty little gold finches and variety of blue birds. Thanks for sharing such pretty birdies with us. I will have to share with my sis. She is the bird lady -

    How nice to have such gorgeous creatures in your yard! We have nothing that compares to that in our yard although we have some colorful birds...finches, woodpeckers, cardinals and bluebirds. I love the size of your birds....no mistaking what you are looking at!

    Oh what a beautiful sight to see! Are these common birds to see in Australia? You are so lucky!

    How beautiful! What a treat to have such beautiful (and BIG) birds come into your yard. Do you feed them?
