Wanna see a horrible video of something that most ppl never see? This is a rufous scrub bird singing his head off in the most open habitat I’ve ever seen them in. Normally they’re totally invisible in thick scrub - this one is still fairly invisible

Swamp Wallaby mother and joey.
Photo of two Swamp Wallabies at Sydney Zoo. One is an adult female, the other is a joey that is poking its head and tail out of the female's pouch. They resemble small Kangaroos, with shorter legs and faces, and rounder bodies. They are brown and orange with a black eye mask, black paws and feet, black ear tips, and a dark brown tail.Close up photo of the mother wallaby's head, side view.Close up photo of the joey's face as it looks directly at the viewer. With dark brown eyes.

Powerful Owlet in a suburban Brisbane park this morning. Surprisingly for daytime, it was trilling constantly. But then we saw one of its parents having a Brushtail lunch nearby in the same tree, and the Owlet joined it a few minutes later. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

The local noisy miners have decided to build a nest in our back garden so now every time the rescue dog goes outside to just try and enjoy some fresh air he has to put up with this. He’s become admirably resigned to it, though:

A new Powerful Owl pair! We had found the female in January at a new site. We'd seen and heard her a few times since, but only her, so we'd begun to think she was on her own. But last night we saw them fly out together, and today we found them roosting next to each other. #brisbane #birds #wildoz

Due to heavy autumn and winter rains across central Australia, I predicted that it would be a bumper spring/summer season for budgies and cockatiels. Well, I wasn't wrong! There were 1000s of budgies and cockatiels at Gluepot. That's not an exaggeration. It was incredible.

A pair of Double-barred finches for today’s theme #Borbs
A concrete pedestal bird bath surrounded by Correa shrubbery and eucalypt mulch. There are a pair of tiny birds on the edge of the bath which have soft brown backs, black and white spotted wing feathers and distinctive white faces and bibs highlighted by narrow black lines and on breast and face. Their beaks are silver-grey and their eyes are black.

I heard rosellas outside. So I grabbed my camera and snuck out the back and waited. Amazingly, an adult and young one flew into my backyard. I wasn't very well hidden so it's a bit of a miracle they didn't skidaddle. The adult went down on the ground to feast on the freshly whipper-snippered grass 😀

'Who's she calling scruffy? The cheek. Has she looked in the mirror lately? Come on. So disrespectful.' Think I may have upset the #AustralianPelicans. The #Gull doesn't seem to mind their departure. #BirdOfTheDay Alt #Scruffy Thanks AB (Best I could do to meet the theme. 🤷‍♀️)
Two Australian Pelicans (mostly white, with black wings) swimming away from the camera in a shallow pool of water. They leave ripples behind them as they go. In the water in front of them are reflections of thin poles. In the right, bottom left corner, a Silver Gull faces the camera.

Please say hello to this Australian raven I met earlier today.
A black bird stands side-on to us on top of a bright red "No Stopping" sign in front of a bright blue sky. Their beak is open as they croak, and the shaggy "bird" feathers are delightfully shaggy indeed. Their feathers are very glossy black. Either side, out of focus in the background, are some medium-rise apartment buildings.

Red-browed finch in the reeds looking for seeds! ❤️🤨 These guys live in tight, highly social little gangs that spend all day chattering away in dense tall grass and will build dummy nests to confuse predators. 🥷🪹 #Finches #BirdOfTheDay #Nature #Wildlife #ECK #EastCoastKin #BirdPhotography #Birds
Close-up photograph of a small red-browed finch perched on thin stems among tall grass and foliage, facing left as it forages. The bird has a soft grey body, a bright red eyebrow stripe above its dark eye, a vivid red bill, and a matching red patch on its rump and tail. Soft-focus green stems and grass blades frame the scene, partially obscuring the foreground and creating a natural, leafy depth.
