One day we actually had 3 of them come through our front door and they were eating rice cracker crumbs the kids had left on the carpet!!! I have photos somewhere I really will have to dig them out and post them!! Oh at different times of year here the magpies will eat out of our hands.

We are in Sydney and near Garigal National Park and enjoy a wide range of birdlife, but also the fruit bats which hang around the garden when the date palms are flowering. Sadly the "Kingies" are rare for us too. But you will find dozens of them in Manuka Park in the spring eating the plum blossoms. We see plenty of Sulphurs as well - which reminds me of a story in Canberra of a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo and a visiting CIA chief...another time maybe!

Those are bird you only get to see in the zoo around here. See, up in the north we just have the regular birds like pigeons, blutits, magpies and polar-bear-birds... :) Ah, well... I suppose bears don't fly that easily, but it would be kinda funny if we had a few of them around, right? :) Greetings from me and the Swedish pigeons! I wish I was even near birds like that!

We have lots of possums, who eat to many of our trees though! No interesting visitors for us. We have lots of possums, who eat to many of our trees though!
