The start of a new year and my memories go back to happier 
times when my husband and I would take autumn trips to
the Victorian Hightlands and birds different from home

A King Parrot, nervously sizing up the feeder, 
not at all happy with my presence


taking heart and cautiously nibbling at a seed or two


finally he got quite used to me and gobbled up all the food.


I hope the coming year will be a better one than the last with the 
loss of my husband and two dear friends.

The older we get, the more we cherish the people who share 
our memories.

Wishing you all the Happiest of New Years!

Linking with Stewart's


PS . . . Oh, HAPPY DAY!!! The young pullets which have been
indeterminately sitting on a clutch of eggs gleaned from
my granddaughter's bantams that lay blue eggs,
have produced a chick.!!!!

I am ecstatic and live in hopes of more.

BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY WEEKLY ~ 11 King Parrot

Please enlarge for a better look.



King Parrot, Alisterus scapularis in the Victorian Alps



These are male King Parrots, I am sorry I could
not manage to get a female as well.



It is quite a large parrot, these two shots were outside
a reataurant so they were quite fearless.



The green plumage is much brighter than it appears
in these shots.
