Welcome to our website for the study and appreciation of Australian birds and their interesting behaviours.
Australia is blessed with some of the world’s best mimicry birds. Many of our endemic birds have the ability to mimic and understand the language of other bird species that share habitat in their territories. Should one visit the rainforests in the National Parks along the east coast of NSW and Victoria, Australia, they may be surprised to hear flowing […]
We have been away up Far North Queensland on a tour of the Cape York Peninsula right to the very Tip of the Australian mainland. We even went further to the Torres Strait Islands with a premium touring company called Outback Spirit which we have toured with on previous occasions. My wife was hoping to see the Palm Cockatoo, which […]
Finally a blue sky and a chance to walk again, though much damage had been done to tracks still filled with puddles of water from the intense rain in the recent week. I thought I would check out the nesting hole again where the resident Southern Bookbook Owl had been lodging, preventing the resident Powerful Owl from nesting again as […]
This post explores more birds from our Mt Annan bird dates. It is interesting how varied particular bird species nesting seasons are, especially for the Rainbow Lorikeet which may nest in Spring Summer or Winter Spring depending on the present food supply and prevailing weather conditions. We found several nests in old eucalypt trees near areas of flowering Grevillea ‘Superb’ […]
In my last post I gave a glimpse of Australia’s smallest owl, the Southern Boobook (also known as a Mopoke), peeping from a nesting hole, which it had occupied before the Powerful Owl had a chance, since the Powerful Owl normally nest there each year at this time. It was only that the sun was shining directly into the hole […]
In the midst of inclement and unseasonable weather I was led to highlight the rich favour and blessing my Almighty Father God has poured over me and my book sales which have been bubbling along now for ten years. In 2015 I published my first edition of ‘What Birds Teach Us’ now in 2025, after several sell outs and reprints, […]
It was our Wedding Anniversary again and we chose not to go away but have a lovely day out in the city at our local famous Taronga Park Zoo, which we both love visiting to see the Regent Honeyeater they are breeding for future release. We catch a train into the city, a ferry across our beautiful Sydney Harbour and […]
