The reason I don't mow my lawn -Crimson Rosella

I was fortunate enough to get closer to this little guy this morning. It was raining lightly and he let me walk outside instead of shooting through the window. They've been coming and going so I had the 100-400L ready to go. C&C as you like.

That's quite a bird. Very nice looking and it must be fun to have them working the yard.

Thanks Mitch. They don't do much 'work' but they do scratch around a fair bit. I also get eastern rosellas, cockatoos, indian miners, lorikeets and the Australian magpie. Quite a managery.

Nice shots, and a beautifully colored bird.

i particularly like #2...maybe because there's less of the feed in the way??

you're obvisously hitting your straps now with the 100-400

good job, better than my efforts. It's good to see them eating the stuff that grows rather than waiting for handouts isn't it. Yes I justify myself for not cutting the grass for the same reasons.

Beautiful bird! Thanks for sharing.
