Wild Bird Wednesday & Nature Notes - Adelaide Rosella


Adelaide Rosella sitting pretty on one of my Thuja


looking longingly for more of the silvery seed pods


checking if I am still there


and striking a pose, "is this my good side?"


all the seed pods off all three Thujas have now disappeared 
as if by magic.

Linking with Stewart's

and Michelle's

  12. I planted 10 of those trees once and I have a single one left. I thought they were to have been fast growers, but my one, is as slow as molasses at growing. The bird is sure a beauty and large, or small, I doubt I shall ever see anything as pretty in my trees~

  14. I hadn't heard of an 'Adelaide' Rosella before and beautiful it is; you got lovely shots of it at top of pine tree - like a good Aussie Christmas tree decoration; replaces the star

  15. Arija such a pleasure to see these Rosellas. I love their bell like call. Here they are quite rare. Your Pictures are like paintings, such soft subtle colours.

  18. Very nice bird - I like the less "in your face" colours of this Rosella.

  21. Is the Rosella a type of parrot? It certainly is beautiful and seems very tame ... not at all concerned that you are standing there with your camera. Beautiful shots,Arija ...
