Katie77:
I'll try again with the pics of the white cockatoos....
Andrew:
What fabulous pictures, Katie. I really can't imagine living in a place where you could expect such brilliant visitors to your bird feeding station! In town in Boston it's almost all house sparrows, with just blue jays and cardinals showing up from time to time for color.
Do the lorikeets and cockatoos each come at regular times? You said morning and afternoon as if there were a lunch crowd and a dinner crowd.
Katie77:
Hi Andrew, glad you liked my pics....
All the birds come morning and afternoon....the same birds.....if we are inside and dont see them, they sit on our outdoor furniture and wait until we come out...some of them will eat out of our hand.......its lovely when they bring in their babies, and we spend many hours outside watching them, with the littlies siitting there with their beaks open while mum feeds them...
One of the white cockatoos, is one that we had as a pet, and he got out one day, and went off to join a flock, but he comes back every day, and still lets us pat him...he has a wife now, and he has brought back his babies too....
Heres a pic of me with him.....and also a pic of the lorikeets on the outdoor table...
and ive added another one, that i have posted on different threads here before, of my son adam, who volunteers to help injured and orphaned wildlife...here he is bottle feeding a baby kangaroo...
hope you like them...
Andrew:
I got a sudden hankering to see some of the Wyoming wildflowers Jack and Ennis would have been lounging among during those times the sheep didn't need much minding.
So here's a closeup of Scarlet Gilia:
and this is the whole flower spike:
For contrast, here's a Dwarf larkspur:
Both flowers are up in the mountain meadows of Wyoming.
