This is ½ way through the Pictures I am wanting to share.
I personally don’t like lots and lots of small Threads scattered all asunder.
At least if someone wants to refer back to a Picture from yesteryear.
The Pictures will all be in one of two Threads. ;o)
I'm starting off with 'Stumpie'.
Part one is here: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1157650/
Birds from Queensland part 2
Aww Stumpie is so cute!
Crimson Rosella's with a King Parrot in the middle?
They're so beautiful!!
They are really gorgeous!
Hey Pell !
Can you imagine having all these Birds eating off your Bird Feeder ?
It could happen if you lived in Queensland.
I believe some of our Cockies cost over US $13, 000.
The very young males also start off with green heads.
But the green ones are soon replaced with the Red Feathers.
The Juvenile is in the top left of this Picture.
The King Parrots are fantastic, ginger. I've seen them at my sister's place in Canberra.
Wonderful shots Ginger!
Those are fantastic looking birds, Ginger!
Hi, Ginger. It's a Topknot Pigeon. According to my book, it looks as if its distribution is coastal and just a bit farther inland into woodlands and rainforest, from Cape York down to southern New South Wales and extending in fewer numbers along Victoria and northern Tasmania.
Thanks Margaret.
I know the Topknot but I have never seen them with the Orange hair.
They look a little Punkie. ^_^
Had a small Finch fly into my Studio window two minutes ago.
Not dead but a little groggy.
I'll take Pictures when it chirps up.

Looked that one up, it's a Red-browed Firetail
Ooops! Forgot to say, congrats on its successful recovery!

Awww they are sweet little birds!
Nice shots ginger!
I'm so glad the little one survived that collision. Ginger, beautiful photos.
Well done, Ginger. What an exquisite little bird. What else are you seeing in your area at the moment?
Thanks Pell, Lily and Margaret.
It would not have survived had I not bought it into my Studio for a little R & R.
Magpies would have got it within minutes.

I snapped these two early this morning.
They seemed to be eating bugs out of the cobwebs on the barbed wire fence.
I still haven't had time to look for them on DG's
Probably some kind of Tree Creeper ?
.
So what happened to my Picture this time ???
Is there a Smilie for totally frustrated ?

Links seem to work OK ?
Ginger, some of us have occasional problems with posting. 2nd Cousin Dave has been frustrated by it, as have I. I've found the best thing is to leave Dave's, fire it up again and repost.
I've had a look in my bird ID book and also online, and I think your birds may be Striped Honeyeaters. http://graemechapman.com.au/cgi-bin/viewphotos.php?c=271
Thanks Margaret.
I'll give it a weeks break and then try again.
Oh, it doesn't need to be that long, ginger. Just close it and fire it up again straight away and that should do it. Good luck.
Possibly. LOL. Give it a try. We'd love to see what you've been seeing.
