  1. Little warbler :> I think they're trying to woo me for more treats

    (but they are just babey, so it's best not to give in unless you got proper maggie foods, but also they would be less inclined to hunt for food normally!)

  3. We had some hopeful visitors this afternoon. They were looking for free food, but we didn't have anything appropriate (bugs, skinks, small snakes).

    A #LaughingKookaburra (who was not laughing)
    and a #PiedCurrawong

  4. More #birds from today's wanderings.

    One of a pair of juvenile #AustralianMagpie that were playing on the lawn this morning.

    A #GreyFantail stopping momentarily on a branch in the sun.

    A #RufousFantail who managed to sit on this branch for almost 30 secs.

    And a female #AustralianKingParrot blending in, in a Bunya Pine.

  5. Went for a wander down the road this morning, found a damp Crimson Rosella, a busy Noisy Miner, a Magpie and a Tawny Frogmouth doing its best impression of a stick.

  6. Do you speak magpie? This is one of a pair that we feed in our backyard. #AustralianBirds #AustralianMagpie

  7. I went out to our Gatton Campus today for a job, and while I charged the car, I took in some of the local bird life.

    The Noisy Miners were busy harassing everyone, the Magpie followed me from tree to tree talking to me, the Crested Pigeon was not interested in being within 20m of me, so took refuge in a Jacaranda tree, and there were several Little Friarbirds flitting about.

  8. Heard a radio show about #Birds.

    And whether wild birds mimic human made noises.

    They claimed not, even had the Attenborough team member who'd recorded a captive bird which he was unhappy about cause he think wild birds don't mimic human made noises.

    So I don't know if it was wild or a suburban hipster or escaped but a young "preteen" #AustralianMagpie mimicked police/ambulance siren and a whippersnipper with me in my backyard.

  9. A pre-work walk down the road this morning resulted in multiple Rainbow Lorikeet sightings, and a singing Magpie.

  10. This young lady's research
    abc.net.au/news/2024-01-09/mag
    now makes me wonder "Are cyclists targeted because helmets don't have hair?"

    ETA:
    Thanks to @jon found this video from the CSIRO which seems to add weight to the theory: csiro.au/en/news/all/articles/

  11. The wind is having a go outside despite the sun (what am I talking about? Like wind "cares" if it's sunny. Have a word with yourself) . It's blowing through something nearby (a guttering pipe?) that makes a sound not unlike the song of the Australian magpie. #wind #sound #AustralianMagpie

  12. The more I read about Australia's wildlife, the more frightening the place sounds!

  13. A couple of fairly common birds from my walk in to work this morning.

    An Australian Magpie, and a Masked Lapwing.

  14. The leucistic magpie (mostly white magpie, famous around UQ), seems to have bred again, as this semi-leucistic magpie is presumably another of its brood.

    Also, Noisy Miners are all over campus at the moment. They are by far, the most prominent bird there.

  15. Happy Friday!

    This morning our resident Swamp Wallaby was in the backyard and was so engaged with nibbling tasty grass that I managed to leave the house and take the car out without it hopping away. This also meant I got a few photos too.

    Then, upon getting to work, I found the White Magpie again. Clearly a good day for wildlife.
