OUR AUSSIE BIRDS
when you are
tired of eating pine bark and gum nuts
why not try calamari rings
(cockatoos our larrikin birds )
colours that inspired fifties kitchens

the little blue fairy wren
is everyone's favourite
so tiny so fragile so cute
* recent research suggests the males are doting fathers
they sing to their eggs and once they hatch, the chicks
are able to recognise their parent's unique song.*
the flame robin
a fashion icon
comes in pink
as well as red
the rainbow lorikeet
is a modern mardi gras
kind of bird
having dust ups with
the plain conservative drab pigeons
everyone has owned a budgie
at some time in their life
some guys even try to smuggle
them in their swimwear
budgie smugglers
on the male gang gang cockatoo
this crusader bird is so smart
just by looking at it
you know it knows everything
incredible presence and personality
gorgeous
