They are another bird which disappears surprisingly well in our eucalypts or just head down on the ground. The young ones are much less vivid which is probably an additional survival mechanism.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-45076252029974742972013-04-01T14:16:18.573+11:002013-04-01T14:16:18.573+11:00Susan Kane: It was close to war.Susan Kane: It was close to war.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-37957967750353869552013-04-01T14:15:51.660+11:002013-04-01T14:15:51.660+11:00Don QuiScottie: But yours have nicer voices...Don QuiScottie: But yours have nicer voices...Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-43213023758405513692013-04-01T14:00:44.995+11:002013-04-01T14:00:44.995+11:00I can't get over how beautiful they are, all p...I can't get over how beautiful they are, all pink and grey.
