A couple of Australian King-Parrots came to visit us the other day. They took me by surprise as that’s never happened before. I have seen them fly over the house and far away but never this close.
They were on our veranda having a chat with our pet bird Amore the Alexandrine Parakeet.
Amore was not impressed and had been doing her squawky pants impersonation for about half an hour. I thought I better check what all the noise was about and this is what I saw.
The fence thingy that the male is standing on is a temporary fence – my effort to keep all the Muscovy ducks away from the veranda. It works some times 😉
Aren’t they stunning – the male has a completely red head and the female has a completely green head and breast.
