Yellow-rumped Thornbill
has found some little treat
Apostlebird owning an impressive mud-nest; it almost appears like plaited coir from here.
Double-bar Finches basking in the late afternoon sun near to a little waterhole
Believed to belong to the Spotted Bowerbird. A couple days later it had been ransacked, apparently by a Bowerbird opponent; it's what they do.
that sign means something to someone obviously; and there's a little something on the sign too
that looks to be, a Hooded Robin.
Rufous Songlark (I think it is)

Greetings Irma
Fabulous photos of all these birds. Amazing !

Love all of the colors on the parrots.
i'm loving the 1st parrot/bird ... those colors are amazing!! what a beauty. ( :
you guys have the greatest birds. so jealous here in the states.
such beauties! the double-barred finches brought back a memory from a lifetime ago. back in wisconsin, i had a huge finch cage. had a pair of 'owl finches' that were these birds. loved them. sad to think your domestic birds are netted and shipped off to america to become cage birds.
Beautiful birds, well taken Carole.
I am impressed with that mud nest. Those were sweet potato fries.
Wonderful birds to see Carole...
A great series of birds and the parrots are especially beautiful.
lots of great birds!! the thornbill is cute
Wonderful variety, Carole! Those finches are SO handsome!
The blue and green look lovely on the Red-rumped parrots. I'm loving the little White-browed Woodswallow too.
Wonderful captures Carole! Those double-bar finches are really spectacular looking!
Those parrots show color with every turn!!! Beautiful!!!
Lovely birds! I love the parrots.

Thanks for sharing these fascinating images of exotic birds. what a feast for the eyes.
Your birds are so different than ours! I love love love the blue-green!
Red Rumps are among my favorites. Their colors are so pretty. Yes, and they used to say pink and red should not be worn together! LOL
Hi Carole... Yes blue and green, orange and pink etc... all the things that used to be taboo in fashion!!: )
Nature does it well, it always looks great!! These parrots are beauties, and I love the to colors together!!
The Apostlebird's nest is fascinating!
Great shot's these birds every one!!

What a greata selection of birds for your weeks post, the finches are lovely....... the sign is a bit mad though
The saying "blue and green, should never been seen" reminded me of my mom. But nature has been putting those colors together forever! What a gorgeous parrot! ALL the birds you have photographed look wonderful. You are an amazing photographer and writer! Love your blog!
A great collection! I would be buzzing! The apostlebird nest in particular. I also like that you have included shots that show something go the setting.
HI Carole Wonderful selection of photographs and some I do not know.
Splendid set of birds. The train sign must be a translation!

Lovely birds to see Carole...
Wow .... what beautiful Carole!!
I'm always amazed about the number of beautiful colored birds that just fly around freely with you. Really wonderful to see.
Quite to just be jealous lol .....
Very nice series of beautiful birds and nests, Carole!
I think that Apostlebird can market those nests on the internet and retire wealthy!
WOW!! What a wonderful selection of birds! And I can say (again), none I've ever seen! I think I may have to move down your way!!
