The dull morning was brightened by a visit from a young Grey butcherbird demonstrating all the classic butcherbird poses:

Bird on!

I love their melodic call
ReplyDeleteMy friend in Balwyn has a very bold family of them, knocking at her window till she opens the doors and hands up mince they take directly from her.
ReplyDeleteMine get theirs at arms length via lemon tree branches, but despite getting very close they are yet to take directly. I do tell them I know they eat blue wrens.
I have a few take some mince . They are small and black and white. I had no idea there were a large variety. Saw my firs yesterday and Id'd from this photo.
