Tom and I are sitting in the Los Angeles airport waiting for our connecting flight to Seattle and after 14 hours on the trip from Sydney I need to do something mindless to keep me awake. When I have been back to Australia people always ask me What do you miss most? Apart from my family it is always the birds that I most enjoy coming back to. Here are some photos that I took around my mother’s house over the last couple of weeks that i thought you might enjoy – and don’t miss the video at the end – great for a good laugh.
Rainbow lorrikeet on Camelias
Rainbow lorikeets are definitely my favourite.
Kookaburra sits on an old gum tree (or anything else)
kookaburras always make me feel that I am home even when they wake us up at 4 am.
Cockatoos always the most destructive
Cockatoos stripped the orange tree of fruit while we were there – they can strip paint from a house too. However here is a lighter side of their nature – they love to sing and dance.
