Australian Birdlife

Living in a city I forget how good Australian wildlife is. I’m staying at a friends house near Lorne on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. It’s in the forest so there is plenty of birdlife. You don’t even need to go looking here. Just put a bowl of sunflower seeds outside and you will have instant feathered friends.

Australian King-Parrot

There are plenty of king-parrots here, as well as crimson rosellas and the occasional sulphur-crested cockatoo.

The king-parrots here have become used enough to humans to be hand fed.
