A third chested pigeon! Perhaps the baby? (On the right) This is the first time I've seen them, and probably the first time they've seen me, given how unsure and distant they were during the seed throwing. The other two were excited as always for seed.

Our crested pigeon pair having a bath in the rain. Always interesting to see birds in weird poses... #birds #australianbirds
A pair of crested pigeons, both lying on their sides with a wing extended towards the sky. This exposes the underside of their wing, allowing rain to wash them.

This pair of crested pigeons have been visiting for a few months now. The distant one (I believe is the male) is much braver, and woos. They also reply when I woo back at them.
The closer one is more skittish, but is still very eager for seed.
It is nice to see them again.

A pair of crested pigeons standing on grassy ground. The closer bird is looking up at the camera, and has a larger bronzewing. The distant bird is pecking at the ground, where seed has been scattered.

Bonus image from yesterday. Floofed up and wet from the downpour in Melbourne.

A photo of a miner bird, looking fluffed up and soggy. The bird is looking around for bugs that may have surfaced during the rain.

A local noisy miner having some grevillea for lunch. Not being noisy, and doesn't harass other birds. #birds #australianbirds
A noisy miner, taking a power stance with their legs apart, surveying the area. To the left is a small grevillea bush with a few red flowers. The same miner bird is now the bush, peeking out from the foliage. The miner bird has climbed further up the bush, holding the highest vertical branch. The miner bird has moved further left to the edge of the bush and appears to be looking toward the camera.

Magpie dad visiting the front door with a little song. Grabbed some quick photos that didn't want to focus correctly.

A male Australian Magpie, perched on a handrail. His back is facing towards the camera, showing off his pure white back feather. A side profile of the same Magpie, still on the handrail. He is looking off to the side, comfortable with the camera's presence.

Our regular visitor is becoming more and more brave. We haven't seen the lady as of recent, and can only assume she is taking care of some eggs!
A low angle shot of a crested pigeon, standing atop weathered roof tiles. His eyes are pointed at the camera (more likely the holder of said camera). There are trees and leaves in the distant background. The same pigeon, walking towards the edge of the roof, with one foot lifted as he is on the move. His feathers catch the sunlight, displaying the black stripes at the base, the vivid colours and metallic shine of his bronzewing feathers in the middle, and the white tips of each feather. His crest is prominent, and he is still watching the camera. The crested pigeon is now on the ground, with his body facing prominently towards the camera, showing off his gray blue chest, blending into brown at his sides. He has one foot forward, approaching the camera. A side profile of the crested dove, walking on the ground. His body is on the right angle to show the distinct colours on his metallic bronzewing feathers. The colours from wing to tip: Teal, yellow, magenta. His stride reveals the soft down feathers at the top of his legs, looking like fluffy pants.

Was checking him over, checking his wings, and seeing if he reacted to things normally, and he seemed to enjoy some pets. No attempts to bite is an unusual reaction, but he looked comfy at least.

Little guy... Injured by other birds, clearly confused and stressed by the ordeal.

Took him to the vet to be taken care of.
A juvenile black bird. His eyes are closed and his beak is open. He seems very confused. The black bird is perched atop my hand. His eyes are now fully open, but so is his beak. He is still stunned and confused. The black bird is now contained (in an open shoe box), he is just standing there with his beak (now closed) touching the side of the box.

Bug friend
Side view of a katydid, perched atop fingertips. They have a vivid green body and long stick-like legs, they could be mistaken for a leaf. A front view of a katydid, comfortably standing across two fingertips. their antennas are so long they reach either side of the image. They are looking at the camera, possibly confused as to where they are.

A gift
Tilde cat finding odd comfort sitting the crumpled up discards of wrapping paper. Her head is poking out, and she is looking attentively at the camera.

Grabbed
Tilde cat is being grabbed, her ears are folded in, and she is getting scritches under the chin. She thinks it is a long pat.
