The bird is the word… Beautiful!
Oh, now this is playing in my head! Laughing…..
Great shots, Cindy. Good to see you’re making the best of your Australian holiday.
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.
So cute. I like the picture of him holding a nut. I have not thought birds do that.
They do this a lot, sometimes with a nut in a fist and another in a beak! Cheers to you my friend (｡♥‿♥｡)
Beautiful!
(｡♥‿♥｡)
Wow, that is one colorful bird. I almost had to put on my sunglasses to look at it Cindy. 🙂
(｡♥‿♥｡) They have such sweet temperaments too.
Lovely, Cindy… Sharing!
Ahhhhh, thanks much & cheers to you from Oz Bette (｡♥‿♥｡)
What absolutely gem-like birds, Cuz. Why do all the other countries of the world seem to get all the pretty ones and we’re stuck with Canada Geese !!!!!
❤ Happy Valentine’s Day, Cindy ❤
Tee hee hee….I won’t tell the gooseys or ganders you said this cuz!
Beautiful!
They are indeed. Cheers to you my friend (｡♥‿♥｡)
Such a gorgeous birdie.
Sweet, friendly and kinda shy too <3
Aww..the bird has come out so pretty.🙂
They are beautiful inside and out (｡♥‿♥｡)
❤
Hey there! It’s been a while! Great to see you’re still doing you so beautifully. Did that bird have as sweet a disposition as one might think looking at its little face? Blessings and beauty to you and yours. 🦋
Oh, so beautiful. xxx
Mother Nature at her best ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Amazing captures of stunning bird! Love the colors, Cindy, WOW!
Very kind and much appreciated Donna ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Ahh…it’s a spider-man bird! ♥ ♥ ♥,､’`(((;ŏᴗŏ))),､’`’`,､♥ ♥ ♥
Oh YES! I see the color combo! (｡♥‿♥｡)

So schön, ein Prachtskerl oder eine prächtige Frau, danke fürs zeigen… <3
Vielen dank mein lieber Freund und haben un frohe Wochenende <3
Even though these beauties come from Australia they remind me of the American flag – red, white and blue 🙂
Beautiful color combination!
Happy Valentines day Mrs. Cindy
Same to you my friend and to your beautiful mum.
Wow. Pretty bird! Pretty bird!
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.
Fabulous capture!
Your kindness is much appreciated <3
Such intense, lovely colouring Cindy.
Leslie xoxo
Mother Nature rocks her bird palette! <3
She sure does!
♡´･ᴗ･`♡
What a little feathered show-off! Great pics, Cindy!
He is my kinda runway model and he can strut down my picnic table any day!!!
The colors on this beautiful bird are stunning! How you get so close and capture every nuance fascinates me. Hope you had or are having fun in Oz. One day, maybe.
Travel in the time of Corona is a bit disconcerting, but Australia’s wildlife is stunning. Cheers to you Marlene & thank you. <3
Beautiful colors!
PS – You changed your Gravatar image. 🙂
Thanks for noticing both & cheers to you from Down Under <3
Those birds are gorgeous!!
They are! And so sweet too. So happy you appreciate them & cheers ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Wow, what a beauty! I love the second image especially.
Love your new gravata, Cindy!
You don’t miss a thing. This is what makes you such a talented photographer.
Oh! They really do look like birds of Oz, Cindy! You have such a gift for capturing images and adding words to bring out the personality or setting as well as the beauty. Hugs on the wing!
Hugs are flying back to you Teagan from bird-land down under! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
I’ll bet it was a very smart bird. Parrots generally are but the Raven still reigns supreme!
Parrots are brilliant and curious. Corvids are amazing. Bird Brained means very smart. After all they are wise enough to pick and choose the people they get close to.
I see two Ravens almost every day. Getting to know them. Beautiful creatures!
They are wonderful creatures. They remember specific people for many years, and remember longest, the specific people who do bad things to them. So be nice to your raven friends (I know you will!)
I talk to them. The male is cool with me but the female is more skittish.
You are in the process of making some long term friends <3
I saw them tonight! They flew right over me while I was with Romeo. I think they must roost on Stockham island?
I gotta get back up there……
the Raven came over today. I threw it a slice of bread. God they have a such an amazing lustre!
The pattern of the feathers! I always think certain birds look good humored. This is one.
It is the sweetest bird. Rather shy. Avoids aggressive birds, just a joy to have fly down to your picnic table ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Ridiculously colourful, Cindy. And those dark layered feathers… pin-sharp
I know. It is a ridiculously stunning and sweet creature ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
These are so cheerful and bright. Wonderful photos, Cindy.
I am happy you liked them & thank you! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
Wow! So vibrant!🌹
This is a stunning bird! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
That’s quite a charming fellow. Very upbeat. Love it!
Happy you do & thank you!
That is one cute bird (type of parrot? Looks like it.) I adore birds… this one looks like it’s ready for a moult. 🙂
Happy you enjoyed and yes, it is in the parrot family, and I noticed the regrowing feathers too. It was on one bird and not the other. I have some photos of juvenile rosellas I will post soon. They look like entirely different birds. Quite lovely.
Such a beautiful bird. thank you for capturing on camera for us to share…♥
Thank you more for appreciating the birdies Sally & hope all is well with you!
Fine thank you Cindy.. enjoying the brief respites from storms…hugsxx
I have heard they are terrible. Stay warm & safe <3
Great shots of a gorgeous bird!
Grazie mille <3
What a beautiful color!
An incredibly beautiful and sweet bird <3
Wow, what pretty colors! I’ve never seen one of these birds before.
Aren’t they gorgeous. I first saw them in Australia about eleven years ago and was thrilled to see them again!
How utterly charming.
They are as sweet as they look!
Ah so beautiful
Happy you enjoyed & cheers to you!

There is no end to the beauty of the birds of Australia. And the crimson rosellas are utterly magnificent. Thanks for sharing this picnic with us, Cindy, truly delightful.
Australia and Tasmania are simply stunning and Australia is paradise for people like us who love birds ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
