  2. Hi Carole Another one of my favorite birds, probably because when my daughter and family lived in Sydney, my grandson who was about 3 loved 2 of these birds that came to our veranda every day. we called them Sukie and Polly and they fed from our hands. Have a great weekend. Margaret

  11. I remember the first time I saw one of these birds - I thought that somebody was having a joke - how can anything be that bright!

    Now I have them in my garden!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
