[Photos] Wildlife - An assortment of birds.

[moonvoice]

A lot of these were taken on maximum zoom,
through fences with small grilles, so it might not be my best work but
they're all really gorgeous birds, and are worth seeing I think.

I still find birds so captivating,
there's a part of me that will just enjoy them forever I think.


Common Bronzewing.




The aptly named Barking Owl who barked the entire time we were there.



Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike. I've been seeing these guys so often in the bush lately, so it was good to get a photo to show what they look like vs. when I'm seeing them as a speck in the distance, lol.



Brown Quails. Snuggled and allopreened until they all fought each other and ran away.



Very pretty Blue-Winged Parrot.



Common Bronzewing. I see these ones in the bush a lot.





Crested Pigeon on the move. (This one was in an enclosure, but we saw them wild in the park as well).





Lovely iridescence on the back wing as it nopes out, lol.



Diamond Dove







Last but not least, the tiny jewel-coloured Gouldian Finch. These were on maximum zoom but I couldn't not post this fellow. So gorgeous and smol.

If you hadn't mentioned the grille thing I'd have never noticed, these pictures are great.

[moonvoice]

It's thankfully not too bad! But I see it every time, lol. <3

[halfmoon_mollie1]

I agree. The grille is totally unobservable. And these are wonderful pictures!

[moonvoice]

I'm so glad you like the pictures!

[sundog]

Oh I love these so much!

[moonvoice]

*bounces happily*

Wow!

[ysabetwordsmith]

These are awesome. I think the bronzewing is my favorite.

They're gorgeous, aren't they?

I love bronzewings. Normally I mostly hear them in the wild as they're winging away, but you see them sometimes too. :D

[alee_grrl]

These are stunning! So many gorgeous birds. Thank you for sharing them!

[moonvoice]

I'm glad you enjoy them! :D

[redsixwing]

So, so pretty! Bronzewings continue to be a favorite.

That finch! Wow, the colors.

[moonvoice]

Aren't bronzewings the best? I love them.

[citrakayah]

I really like how the grille isn't visible. I think the bronzewing is my favorite--they're much prettier than the pigeons we have in North America.

[moonvoice]

We have other kinds of pigeons too, and the iridescence is *really* hard to spot in the wild (where they're usually flying away or very still and camouflaged very well), but it's so pretty when it is glimpsed.

I'M IN LOVE!!! BIRBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[moonvoice]

AND MORE BIRBS TO COME! But first, scaly friends.

[bunny_m]

I love the BFCS! I see them occasionally around the city, but only ever individually.

[moonvoice]

Yeah, even out here in the bushland I've only ever seen one at a time honestly. Though I did see one fly to a tree, and then another fly to the same tree ten minutes later. The most I've ever seen!
