Beautiful Bricktop.



I saw my first pair of Red Capped parrots driving to New Norcia a month back...They flew screaming across the road. I can't wait to photograph some one day.

Those small birds most likely are being attacked by rats though.



Rat steal eggs and eat baby birds... they can reach places cats can't.





People overlook rats but they can become a significant problem.

I don't know. I hadn't put much thought into it until I saw this bird thread. I live within forty five minutes of Metro Toronto and urban  sprawl has extended to my city. Probably a connection there.




You might have too many apex preditors in the environment... it might be out of balance at the moment.

That could be. I have heard urban dwelling coyotes, raccoons and hawks are are a growing problem here.


Apex predators should be roughly at 10%... more than that, it affects the environment but these days with roads and dwindling natural habitat, everything is affected.

Quote from: "Bricktop"I'm trying to get a decent shot of a silver eye...damn things are too small and fast in the wild. I don't like nature shots with man made objects in them...but sometimes its the only way to catch them. In the wild they zoom in, are stationary for a few seconds, then gone. They are the size of a thumb.




That's why I'm thrilled with mine... I have grape vines... caught a beauty in the grapevines





Then I made a tray up of fruit and started using my 4K feature.







I because of this shot, I got invited to the special bird photographers page...

Or you can put fruit out too... I have a dozen grapevines I share with all the honey eaters...silver eyes, ravens, and rainbow lorikeets.

They like their cages but they also LOVE to fly around your house as well.


Birds do not belong in cages, period.



It should be treated the same way we treat docking dogs tails. Illegal.




Their cage is their bedroom... omg, I had a pair of budgies tame that bred in my house...they were so tame, they knew their separate names.... I had a stick, I'd call them and they'd fly to it.





I do not believe in clipping wings either.....





There isn't anything wrong with a cage provided at least some of the day they're out of it.





My birds were so tame, I could walk outside with them on my shoulder and they wouldn't fly off.





I was the bird lady in the neighbourhood...





I much prefer just providing two bird baths... one at the front and one at the back now and just keeping a couple of chickens. I have up to 30 species hanging around... I have trees... and water.... what move could they want?





Here is the Magpie Larks/Mudlarks/Pee Wees Fash...
