I don't blame them.

I was lucky this morning, Silver-eyes descended on my finished grapevines looking for something to eat. About 10-12. I went outside with the camera scaring them off but turned on the reticulation and they came back. This one stood in the sun long enough to be captured.

They're pretty caskur....they look like finches.

Finches eat seeds...



Silver-eyes are insect feeders and nectar feeders.



Very very difficult to capture.



It's 11:30 here. I need to visit my step-father...

I petted a wallaby once at a children's petting zoo.

A black cockatoo....I've only seen sulphur crested cockatoos in pet stores.

caskur

Really? Wow.



Black cockies are pretty expensive and they're on the threatened list...



I got pictures at Serpentine dam but they were too high up in the trees so the photos aren't great... ....
