Ha ha I just knew the title would pull in a lot of views for all the wrong reasons :sun: :sun:

On my travels was advised by Paikea to check out Pebbly Beach south of Ulladulla. We were mobbed by King Parrots,Rainbow Lorikeets and Crimson Rosellas. Quite an experience :D

I simply thought this was quite humerous - all of the gulls perched by the Keep Off sign. This was up the river at Noosa Heads.

KOOKAS. I lived in Kempsy for a few years on some acreage. When I came back from a fishing trip the Kookas ( 4-5 of them )

would fly down and sit in my boat and wait for a feed of fish.

I wasn`t game to not feed them something. Always had a pilchard or two .

They also kept the property free of snakes.

Beautiful photos. Green patch, the camping area at Jervis Bay was also a great place to get mobbed by parrots. I would always take international tourists there just to see the expressions on their faces at so many incredibly coloured parrots hanging off them, They couldnt believe how they would simply come out of the trees and sit on their shoulder.

Here are a couple of our UK birds to even things up :sun:

I photographed this red kite in the Galloway Forest,Scotland. You can see it has been tagged on the wings.

A Harris Hawk I photographed earlier this year at Dunrobbin Castle during a falconry display.
