Every morning the tree on our back fence fills with rainbow lorikeets. You certainly know they are around as they chatter quite a bit.

Ontario has greater variety of birds than Alberta does..



But, Australia has a lot more variety of birds than Canada does.

Australian birds have so much colour.

And character. Cockatoos and kookaburras are very funny to watch.

There used to be a pet store in Calgary that had a sulphur crested cockatoo moving about the store..



It was the store owner's and definitely for sale..



It was so entertaining.
