An Aussie bird

Post by pinkdevil »

One morning a few weeks ago, the aviary birds were very noisy. I looked out the kitchen window and saw this sitting on the clothesline (appologies for poor quality pics, couldn't get close enough & was in a hurry to take photos as it wasn't hanging around long)....

:D Gosh I love those crazy birds. Used to hear them all the time when I lived at the bottom of the mountains. Theyd come and visit us too.. laughing all the way!! hehe They have such a distinct call. It sounds like histerical laughing. Love it!!!

aww yay, i love kookaburras! :)
we have a weekly visiting koukaburra who likes to sit on our clothes line or fence post - i always try to snap a pic of the gorgeous lil thing but he aludes me. I throw him a piece of chicken or bread or whatever but then out of no where the six-sensed blue eyed resident crows appear and the battle is ON. lolz :P
too funny.
yesterday the crows took a bath in our papillon's (dog) left over water tub outside. it was very humourous :D took video with my phone but it was soo blury.

cool pix btw.
