Thursday Dog Blog (and general critter blogging)

I’ve always had a special fondness for parrots.  I even had one as a pet many years ago.

Now, living in Australia, I have them in my backyard.

These Green Rosellas are members of a group of seven that frequent our property.  There are two other groups that also regularly visit – one with four members, and one with twelve. I took these photos in our backyard this morning.


In this shot in particular, you can see how well their colors match the Australian bush.



They mostly feed on grass seeds. Hence the fossicking about in the grass.
