Birdsville Sanctuary

My neighbour wondered where all the birds were going to "to my yard," I replied the Cockatoos for the green almonds Blackbirds and Mynas for ground cover insects Crows bark-scavenging for borers and tree worms Honeyeaters fighting all comers for flowering red gums pollen Pigeons fossicking the soil minding their own business to finish giant Fruit Bats some say escapees from a botanical gardens cull add a creepy aura at night.
