Gang-gangs show some Autumn spirit

Winter approaches and we have small groups of Gang-gang cockatoos moving through our suburbs at the moment. We don't see them much in Melbourne's Summer when they are more at home in the higher country. While sometimes incredibly trusting during a feed, this group of about six birds took off as soon as I showed an interest!

We are blessed that the Gang-gang retains his colour throughout the year!

Wee Jasper Gang-gangs

I missed out on one of those amazing "Don't mind me I'm feasting on this bush" gang-gang experiences when you feel as though reaching out & touching would be tolerated. However the local Wee Jasper gang-gangs still obliged for a few pictures:


My son loves this silhouette!
