Birdman of Australia @dickyticker.bsky.social · 28/05/2025Here is a Musk Lorikeet (Glossopsitta concinna). These birds are native to south-eastern Australia and are easily recognised by their vibrant green plumage, red forehead and ear patches, and a blue crown. They are nectar-feeding parrots often seen in flowering eucalyptus trees. #Birds #BirdWatching 2251

Birdman of Australia @dickyticker.bsky.social · 27/05/2025These are Crested Pigeons! They've got that signature feather crest that makes them stand out.

Birdman of Australia @dickyticker.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Cormorants are expert divers, often seen perching with their wings spread wide to dry after fishing. Unlike most waterbirds, their feathers aren’t fully waterproof, so they often spread their wings to dry after a dive. #birds #cormorant #BirdPhotography #FeatheredFriends #BirdWatching 1342
