Ah! Bush Turkey. Such an endearing name
Remember seeing them eons ago way up north when we were camping in the scrub.
Fascinating and colourful birds, and you have a pair
Beautiful

These two Superb Fairy Wrens frolicked about on this dead stalk but wouldn't face the camera
I still like it though

Very well done Richard. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to photograph one superb fairy wren. - They are still for such a short period of time. Here you have two. And in focus too!

Sadly, I don't have any of them in my back yard. A mate who lives up in Murrumba Downs has an over supply of them. Time for another visit, I think.

Many thanks Larry.
Yes we're rather spoilt for them. At least 3 families living in and around our house, with more bit further out on the farm.
Latter are wild but these are generally well behaved unless on a hunting expedition then they stop only on very odd occasions.
