AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Wow. They are so colorful and pretty. Must be nice to have such colorful birds visit your feeders. Oh, and I meant to say in the other comment above, I can't believe it's Sunday where you are. It's 7:30 Saturday morning here.

I love rosellas - I get them a lot here at my house. :)

These, and other birds and animals, as well as the habitat in which they live, all play a role in each others survival - we can learn so much from nature.
