Aussie Wildlife



As well as seeing exotic animals in the zoo, there are lots out here in the town. As well as Sparrows and Seagulls cruising the picnic areas for scraps, these monsters muscle in! The Sacred Ibis stands about the size of a Pea-hen and they nest in the palm trees overhead. Flying around are Cockatiels and Rosellas. Here's one feeding on the nectar from some kind of seed cone. All fascinating stuff!!! Thankfully we haven't encountered anything scary or poisonous (yet!)...
