We have an indian mynah (imported species I think) who has a vanity issue. Constant love affair with the side mirrors of cars parked on the street. So several cars have lots of scratches and scrapes around that part of the car door, and a great deal of bird poop on the mirror casing and beneath it.
First galah of the season (okay, I don't get a lot of them around here), I spotted him land on the big patch of clover (reminder: must buy more clover) across the road where he grazed, ignoring the neighbour as she walked down her driveway a mere metre or two from him.
The magpies are around. They don't really swoop around here, just sit on the fence and eye you. I'm always mindful of the length and point of those beaks. I like my eyeballs where they are and as they are, thanks.
There was a kookaburra in the jacaranda branch right outside my window. Maybe five metres from me, just sitting there, bouncing a little, occasionally puffing his feathers. Cute bugger.
The lorikeets are NOISY this year - or maybe I'm just particularly attuned to them? Don't see them all that much - for such a bright green and such a colourful undercarriage, they're surprisingly difficult to see! But boy can you hear them all going off!
Speaking of going off, there's the chooks again. The baby (Choquette) is the loudest of the lot of them. And the only one not laying.
