  1. I've been feeding this #crow for the last couple weeks. Raw peanuts, and lately dog food. (RedFord salmon and brown rice).
    Been leaving the food in a couple melamine plant trays set in an iron plant stand.
    Blue Jays and the crow would take a peanut or two and fly off. When the dog food started, the crow would carry the tray to the ground. Pick the tray up, tilt it so the df slides off.

    This morning I put a dish with dog food on a concrete bird bath. Maybe the crow would eat from there instead of the ground??
    Nope. I watched the crow pick up the tray and fly off to who knows where?

    Crow has a few feathers sticking out perpendicular from Its right wing. It's always the same crow.

  2. Had a pair of gorgeous Gang Gang cockatoos feasting on the berries on my Cotoneaster tree yesterday. Didn't manage to get a photo - so here's one from Healesville Sanctuary!

  3. Cockatiels are not often seen in the wild anymore, but they are native to Australia. This one landed on a dead branch at the old gold diggings at One Tree Hill in Victoria - and checked me out!

  4. A #CanadaJay posted up on a burnt #Stump, watching the trail like it owns it.
    A #Snack in the beak, then a bold hop onto a #Hand.
    Quick #Perch, quick #Flight, then gone into the background blur.
    Would you trust a #WildBird this close?

  7. While we’re on the baby theme - here’s a baby Lyrebird. Healesville Sanctuary, in Victoria, Australia, is the only place to breed Lyrebirds in captivity. This is their 9th. Lyrebirds live on the forest floor - in semi darkness, so this was a tricky photo to get.
