got my friend to hold this little guy for me..great poser he was.the bird that is. haha
I find it amazing that he would sit on your friend's hand! He is a beautiful little thing! Did you get any other birds?
yes, i have quite a few actually. will post some soon.
That would be great! I love birds, and will appreciate any you post!
An unusual bird - at least as far as I'm concerned! :D Where is this native?
these guys are native to Qld , australia, they live in the rainforests. they are such a beautiful bird, well at least the male is, the female is a boring old grey/brown colour. as is the case with a lot of birds. will post a few more later.
Well that explains why I've never seen one! ;D
yep, thats it. i live in Australia. these birds are native here
Are they all so tame? These bower birds?
no, these are at a rainforest retreat, where you can feed them. the bower birds are only fed by the rangers, but i found out what they like..sultana's, so i bring a box or 2 with me. and when the ranger's not looking, i hold my hand out,and they come and sit on my hand for a feed.
I would love to "see" that in person! Perhaps I should put that on my bucket list!
