Don't fret bird fans! Despite having to go in to the office today, I still came through with the goods.

Here's an unusual Australian Magpie with leucism (a condition that means the bird produces less melatonin than normal).

The most curious #bird: the robin (Petroica australis.) That one flew onto my #hiking boots.

Somebody decided to show off today before stealing the seed.

Cheeky Cockatoo came to visit and steal the seed this morning, while a Crimson Rosella kept its distance in the nearby foliage.

and then the male King Parrot popped in for what was left of the seed.

It's all happening at the feeder, Rainbow Lorikeet has joined the fun.

The female King Parrot eventually turned up for a feed too.

After the procession of parrots, a Pied Currawong appears.

Today I spotted some of the feral parakeets that live in the suburbs around here. I hear them squawking as they fly overhead almost daily, but it's been a while since I've seen them, and even longer since I've seen them close enough and still enough to photograph!

While out walking today I found three of them perched on a cable up above the street. After a minute or two, one of them flew over to the top section of a nearby palm tree.

It is cold (for Queensland) this morning and so the parrots managed to convince me to give them second breakfast.

I didn’t think we were going to get northern flickers this year—they usually turn up in spring—but this fellow showed up on Canada Day.

Leopards, mostly are active at night, they're part of Big Five.

I forgot to post yesterday's new birdfeeder visitor - a Rainbow Lorikeet, who kicked the King Parrots off the feeder.

Lorikeets are the drunken louts of the bird world.
