This evening my daughter threw out the scrap/stale bread for the birds, which we do every day. We have a family of magpies who will take meat out of our hands, and for a while there we had 2 wild ducks visiting every evening. Tonight we had
First there were only a couple...
Then they called in their mates!
this one looks like a bad photoshop job!! Seriously looks like he was pasted on and the colours look totally fake! :~P But look at him looking right at the camera! :~D So gorgeous!
We were able to get amazingly close. Myself and my 2 youngest were right under them and they didn't seem worried about us at all. They talked to us - looked us in the eye and whistled back when we whistled at them.
I love where we live; the wildlife is brilliant. (and they love our yard because it isn't a landscaped perfection like our neighbours'! ;~P)

Living in the city, I feel blessed whenever I see anything other than seagulls, pigeons, cats, or dogs. But we never get anything as amazing as those birds. Beautiful!

I've seen flocks of Major Mitchell's fly past, but they've never stopped in our yard! ;~D

Lots of seagulls in the K-Mart parking lot, though.

And I don't know what to be more jealous of: the fact that you have these beautiful birds visiting you, or that it looks to be warm and temperate in your photos.

And aren't they beautiful? We haven't had any this year, probably because the old pear tree isn't bearing, but when it does there's flocks of them. Plus, after two days they get so used to us they spit pear on us whenever we go outside. :)
