Birds in the garden


Just keeping a list of the native birds we have seen in the garden, in the neighbour's large trees and flying overhead. Need to keep the list somewhere because I keep losing track. For the past five years we have been trying to make our garden bird friendly with nectar flowers and bird baths. It also helps to be surrounded by towering old gum trees and have a wildlife reserve a block away and I guess our own caged birds attract their freestyling friends into the yard. Of course it would be lovely to have a photos of them all but who is carrying a camera or a phone when the feathered visitors come calling?
The list:
rainbow lorikeet, king parrot, galah, corella, sulphur crested cockatoo, sacred kingfisher, kookaburra, tawny frogmouth, boobook owl, currawong, magpie, crow, peewee, spangled drongo, common koel (stormbird), pheasant coucal, butcher bird, noisy miner, crested pigeon, spotted turtle dove, brush turkey, blue faced honey eater, fig bird, willie wagtail, superb fairy-wren, silver eye, brown honey eater and hear a bellbird and a whipbird every so often but haven't sighted them.
