I completely forgot about looking for the Crimson Rosella I saw behind my apartment building last year. It’s a rare sight in my urban setting.

I bet he has heard this many times! I sang the kookaburra song to the kookaburra (yes, I did) and he looked at me like he has heard this many times, opened his beak wide, and made no sound at all (most unusual for a kookaburra) and he then flew down to the picnic table to join us. No food thank you. He just enjoyed the song. I have photos to prove this all, and my husband is my witness.

I’ll bet it was a very smart bird. Parrots generally are but the Raven still reigns supreme!
