One of the best things about living here is the bird life.
We have a resident family of 3 generations of magpies that keep us entertained with their singing
and their antics. The older pair just ignore us while the youngest one still hasn't quite twigged to
the fact that we mean him no harm. he gallops off to a safe distance whenever we appear.
The noisy miners are just that and the resident scrub turkeys in the bush at the back always slink
off in a guilty manner whenever they spot humans.
Of course there are plenty of Rainbow Lorikeets, Black Cockatoos, Sulphur crests, ravens and even a
whip bird down in the bush.
Every morning when I come here a butcher bird flies up and clings to the security screen and picks
the insect off the screens.
Its a good way to start the day, listening to the birds chortling and watching their behaviour.
