Cockatiel
Some years back, this Cockatiel flew in… It had obviously been a pet as it was happy being around people. And then… one day it flew out again, no doubt looking to delight some other people.

Kookaburra
A regular visitor to our house, but not to have a drink at the bowl! Usually, they sit on a branch or the washing line, looking for breakfast or lunch. And what a wonderful name… KOOKABURRA. [photo by Jane Taylor]

Wattle
We’ve seen more of its smaller brother, Little Wattlebird lately, but this is the Red Wattlebird. Or if you’d like its proper name, the Anthochaera ( don’t ask me how to pronounce it… )

Crimson Rosella
Rosellas are beautiful birds and relatively common around our place. Of course their fame in Australia comes from having tomato sauce named after them…

Not all birds are tolerant of others at the Bowl, but these Lttle Wattlebirds and the Noisy Friarbird seemed ok…
