Whenever Mr and Mrs Red Tailed Cockatoo and friends visit us, we always serve them gumnuts. Easy menu to prepare - just take a few marri trees and do nothing for a couple of decades. My kind of food preparation - no effort required.
So many gorgeous photos, and delightful birds! Lovely to see so many birds eating insects, we are hoping to attract many more insect eating birds in our yard with lots of new trees with mulch all around. I shall have to see what photos I can find, time is running out with a new challenge tomorrow.
Kookaburra and Greenus Caterpillarus
He was only catching little fish but he caught a lot of them.
