[Photos] Caversham.

[moonvoice]

Went to Caversham earlier in the week and took some photos.
I don't have names for every animal because I am exceptionally lazy
when it comes to paying attention to signs
or scrolling through animal identification books.
So if I didn't know it off-hand, I didn't put it in.


Black breasted buzzard.






This guy cracked me up. He's so punk!









Australian kestrel.





Black swan. To which my brother said 'the idea of white swans is weird,' to which I responded 'I bet most people in the Northern Hemisphere feel exactly the same way about our black swans.'

















Boobook.













Cape Barren Goose. I LOVED these. I want one. They're huge. And they look kind of dinosaurish when walking around.





Dingo. Not a great shot. But it amused me how it was lying down next to the sign.









Kookaburra.









Masked lapwing and bush thick-knee.





Masked lapwing.





Red fox.













Female swamp buffalo.





Female red kangaroo with joey in pouch. That joey probably doesn't need the pouch anymore, lol!





Semi-leucistic red kangaroos.





Leucistic red kangaroos. These guys were bullies. But still awesome.

I've hand-fed them quite a few times! And the ones that are very habituated to people will allow you to pat them / scritch their neck feathers. Of course, you're not supposed to feed wild birds, and this was before I really knew that, but there are a lot of places around Perth where wild swans are relatively tame, and expect offerings of bread. Heh.

And I'm a swan therian.

I think I knew that, I definitely think it's awesome. *g* Swans are among my favourite birds. :D

Hehe, yeah. We invade society and then look at you like you are broken when you don't give treats. ^v^

I think I would die if I actually got touch a swan's feathers...

If you ever find a reason to come to Perth, Western Australia, I will absolutely take you to one of the lakes where they're tame and get you to hand-feed some and maybe touch some neck feathers! :D

And pat some kangaroos. And you know, all of that kind of stuff. *g* There's a lakeside park in Joondalup (about thirty minutes from where I live) where - if you put grains in your hands and stand with your hands open and still, wild parrots will come and feed from your hands.

My cats would probably harass you for pats!

Wow. All of that sounds so amazing. owo; Wild parrots that feed from your hands! It sounds like a Disney movie...

Hehe, and I'm definitely more than happy to give lots of pets to cats!
