Hawk Attack

Yesterday I was about to get in the car to go to town when an all-fired ruckus broke out behind the house. Running round, we saw a massive flock of galahs and rosellas and such birds crazily swirling here and there and crying out desperately as they wheeled here and there.

Then I noticed some hawk-like birds in amongst them. It was very hard to focus on them and get a clear view of exactly what they were, but it was clearly an attack upon the flock birds.

Striated Pardalote

scrub wren on a postThis bird is a special friend.  From tip of the beak to the end of the tail the bird is no more than 11 cms long.  Don't let this picture fool you, it has been magnified heaps.

Making New friends - at the Lilypot

Monty magpie and Loki lorikeet know each other quite well.  They share the gum trees in the bush.  Keep any eye out for predators in the valley and when all is well, they catch up on all the neighbourhood gossip while larking out on the mulberry tree.

Before long, Lori decided it was time to inspect Monty's favourite spa and thirst quencher.  A surprised Monty decided to let go of his initial territorial instincts and join his friend instead.

Take a look at the slideshow below for a peek at the birds.

Wild Bird Talking - Success Story - Ken Charms The Galahs And Saves His Tree

One of my friends had some exciting news for me. 'Tell Gitie, what she says works', was the message her friend Ken had asked her to convey to me. 

My friend told me that  Ken has successfully made friends with a couple of galahs who had been visiting his garden.  Then when a whole crowd of galahs started to wreck some one of his trees, he spoke to his galah friends and asked them to stop and they listened.  Ken then explained to them that he didn't want their friends to destroy the tree either.
