You rarely see just one Noisy Miner and groups often dominate the birdbath. They are pretty cheeky and never sit still, jealous of other birds wanting a sip or a dip.

The bird which dominates the dish is the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. Bossy and noisy.
You can’t get away from them, even in the supermarket car park… But we still wouldn’t be without them.

The tree behind our house. It’s not particularly beautiful, but we love it and so do the local birds.
A couple of years ago, we “inherited” a bird bath and found a place for it near the tree.
We added a “BirdCam” to keep an eye on the birds frequenting it. It automatically captures visitors, day and night.
The rest of this month’s images are mostly from this BirdCam…
An earlier writeup about this site.
In the early 70’s, when we lived in Naremburn, Joost Brouwer gave us a Galah to look after. Very entertaining, but not a bird we would keep in a cage today… One day he flew away, preferring freedom over the daily newspaper…

This month, spurred on by distant cousin, @linlovesart, we’ll be doing a social media post every day about birds. First a bit of history with this photo, taken on the Gold Coast a few years back…
Well, that got April Fools out of the way and we can continue with daily posts about Blaxland Birds. No doubt, we’ll get back to Rainbow Lorikeets along the way….
