Aussie the Land of Birds
Lorikeet Love
The Land Down Under offers more that just a Vegemite Sandwich. While settled hundreds of thousands of years ago by an ancient mystical peoples commonly known today as Aboriginals it is only in the last hundred plus years that Australia had been brought to the fore. The diversity of wild life here is extraordinary for a Land commonly thought to be a big Desert.

Birds dominate the landscape and skies with a constant chatter both background and in your face loud. At my location on Sydney’s Northern Beaches tucked away on the side of a mini rain forest valley the birds wake you up and put you to sleep.
Cockatoos waiting to be fed
The Cockatoos are brash and can become demanding of food once fed. I have learned that one the hard way after they tore up the deck and wooden house siding.
The Kookaburras which are the largest Kingfisher in the world, really get loud in a group and are often referred to as Laughing Kookaburras because of the cackle.

When the Sun goes down the Owls take over and seem to be more prominent when the moon is full.

All in all Aussie is the land of birds and lots, lots more…
