Or flickr friends, or foxtrot! As we sat down for a little breakfast today, we heard an unusual low cooing sound...and immediate thought of the beautiful Pheasant Coucal that I posted to flickr yesterday afternoon. We peeked out the door to the sound of dozens of Galahs screeching in protest And yes, it was indeed the Pheasant looking for more bugs on the Orange Tree. Mind you, I couldn't see them but it was nice to know these pests were meeting their match. But wait, there's more. Then there were two, a genuine couple. Wow! Then a Little Corella slipped in amongst the Galahs and then an Australian Ibis landed on the back lawn too! The Galahs don't like them either. Then one of the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos arrived for seeds - far easier to handle than the seven that arrived yesterday morning. Amongst all this melee of birds were the usual pesky Pigeons which we now have under some control. What more could happen...well, two of our beautiful large male Magpies decided that the Pheasant Coucals weren't allowed and swept in with beaks snapping. So after that, some normality was restored. Who'd be a turkey at Christmas? We discovered this old Queenslander nestled in the side of the hill at Rosalie a fortnight or so ago with its new fence on Turkey Lane.
