And also a pair of maggies who have no time to swoop, poor things are too busy feeding their 'baby' - the Channelled Bill Cukoo that they hatched - which happens to be almost twice their size. We have a couple of crows here who bring up a cukoo every year. You'd think Pappa bird would notice and be asking questions, wouldn't you? :-)<br />Maddie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-87356779054661248032013-11-25T16:34:29.539+10:002013-11-25T16:34:29.539+10:00Yes Tammy, they are very wasteful birds.

The cockatoos here will rip all the flesh off the fruit to get to the seed and crack it for the kernel, we share our fruit with the birds ( mostly happily ) but the cockatoo's don't even want it really! its such a waste.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881965816018645999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-70036094050283725262013-11-23T21:16:05.485+10:002013-11-23T21:16:05.485+10:00Tania, it was just as well I took the photos of th...Tania, it was just as well I took the photos of the Tawny Frogmouths as they left the next day!Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-83335201412345294342013-11-22T21:58:31.904+10:002013-11-22T21:58:31.904+10:00Thank you for sharing your bird life Nanna Chel, w...Thank you for sharing your bird life Nanna Chel, we don't have those ones around here :)Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-8473166258351546382013-11-19T22:51:36.397+10:002013-11-19T22:51:36.397+10:00Zena, I think the nesting season for maggies is ov...Zena, I think the nesting season for maggies is over here in SE Qld but I guess it might depend on the weather. They can give you a real fright when they swoop.

I did think they were actually owls too and they certainly sound like owls. Our magpies get aggressive around September and a little boy in our area lost his eye last year after being attacked by one while riding on his bike.

We get snakes too so I am on high alert in the warmer months. A blue tongue lizard gave me a real fright once when I was hanging washing on the line; my heart was pounding. At the moment we have a magpie nest in a tree and every time my son steps outside he swoops down on him. Poor thing.

What an amazing place you live in! It sounded a little like an owl I thought. I currently have 2 pairs of bickering magpies and they fight over everything! They sound like an old couple that has been arguing about the same thing for 50 years! I never watched birds that much until we moved here with all the trees and the bird neighbors! Learn something new every day! - Thanks!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209722078916803400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-4629171698528820032013-11-19T07:37:02.519+10:002013-11-19T07:37:02.519+10:00Lovely photographs.

One of my sons has a family of them which sit on a branch outside his flat window in Sydney; he says it reminds him of home.Roots and Seedshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11496050725815960078noreply@blogger.com
