Australian Birds

[caskur]

I let my chickens out the back to weed the garden but I only have 1 old chook and one VERY old bantam. I think they'll die this summer, they've lived their lifespan..

See how my friend (who was in the middle of moving house) let's her two cockatiels out of the cage? Notice the pot plant saucer on the right? That is their bath. Birds need water on their feathers for preening. You can spray them with water too... they love it.

Yet when we do the same thing with humans, they are called "prisons" and are a form of punishment.



As I type, a group of lorrikeets just flew into the tree outside. That's where I prefer to see birds.

I am going to the pet store, and buying one tonight.

 

No...you have our photos to admire...a bird in the wild is worth two in a cage.

The newspapers on the floor for them to poo on?

Nah...they like to read the sports pages...

I have two cats atm... one 15 yr old (she was given to me as a very tiny baby kitten) and one shit stray we adopted a year ago (not my choice).... but from the age of 8 until 10 years ago, I always had tame birds in my houses.... I love birds. I'm a bird whisperer for real...





Anyway, I do happen to agree with you about birds being admired in the wild. I can still feed and water the birds outside and their messes stay outside...We are so so so lucky we still have them in Australia, other countries ate their birds. You know what, what you and I went through, 60, 70 and 80s were the best years in history and they're never coming back.

We know people that have cockatiels..



They are much less timid than budgies..



But, I want a larger bird..



I really like that lorikeet that Bricktop took a picture of....so beautiful.

Budgies and other Australian birds aren't "timid"... they're made timid from incorrect handling...







On facebook, there is a group called "Bird Photography Australia" I'm still meeting new varieties.. they take your breath away like viewing exquisit wildflowers.





If I gave you my Trees group link and storm chasers group link, I went to a place called Perenjori and got some great landscape shots, and wildflower shots.

Would an emu do?

We know people who have/had budgies and cockatiels..



In every case, budgies would not land on hands or shoulders while cockatiels would..



It's the same in our pet stores.

No, I want a rainbow lorikeet.

Because they weren't handled properly when they were young.





I wished I had my old pictures of my birds...





It's not the bird, it's the inexperienced owners.
