The kind parrots stay the **** away while the Kookaburra is here:D

They're sitting in the tree's waiting for him to leave:eek:

[loanrangie]

What no banjo playing tonight :p

[long stroke]

We feed them to:)
Brave little buggers they are!!

I nursed a Kookaburra [concussed by a car strike I think] back to health a few years ago and felt warm and fuzzy watching it fly away 2 weeks or so later.

We are curently becoming good friends with a Grey Butcherbird mother & bub.

I got a nice pair of nikon binos and a field guide for xmas and lovin it.

[Vern]

So thats the bird you had over last night;):p

[Disco_owner]

You have a really nice setting at the back of your Joint Matt , Lucky bugger!:)

Matt

You must be the only one in Vic getting any type of rainfall by the look of it.

Lucky you

You've got some nice yards and outlooks there.

Bloody Kookaburras. I still recall one of those cheeky beggars swooping off the fence and landing on the side of the BBQ and then flying off with a piece of meat!

[mcrover]

My mates dad had a good reciepe for Kooka soup :eek:

Not sure if I would try it but that fella looks to have some meat on him :o

Really though, we used to have one when I lived in Mt Evelyn that used to come down and nick stuff off the BBQ all the time so I used to cut up a sausage and leave it on the side of the BBQ frame so he didnt get burned as he tried walking on the grill one time to get to them.

He also nicked a piece of chicken off my plate once, scared the crap out of me when he flew down over my shoulder. :D

[slug_burner]

If the light is right the little lense in the phone can take a reasonable picture.

Must be a great place to live if you have them fellas coming onto your back verandah.

Sorry for the crap phone pic, but finally got one of some eastern greys off of my verandah:D

[Rangier Rover]

Rather than start a new thread have dug this one up.

I have dropped a bit of grain during feeding stock etc. Look who has turned up:) Like to have them stay. They are rather tame compared to other wild birds here.

[rovercare]

Probably more Nieve than tame, stupid trusting buggers they are:D

Nice to have pretty birdies hanging around, entertaining watching them squabble to:)

[hiline]

looks like a nice spot for a BBQ soon :D:D
