Default Birds

Hi guys! We went to a restaurant in the hills near the city where we live today. We managed to get a window seat with lots of lush temperate rainforest around. They also had some kind of bird feeder box that was high up and just outside the window. Here is what we saw and were managed to be amused by, the birds had a lot of personality........I hope you like our natives.

I am not real sure where your location is but you definitely do not see these type of birds here in Fl, unless you go to the pet store. The color of these birds are outstanding.

Sorry Rosella's is right.........I often get lorikeets and rosella's a little mixed up. I'm certainly no bird expert.

;-)

P.S. I love Hummingbirds!!!!!
