As the name suggests these birds do like to eat figs, but they will eat other native fruits also. Found mostly in rainforests and eucalypt forests. These two are from the eastern coasts of Australia. Immatures look just like the female here. There is also a northern race which is a beautiful yellow.

Great captures! I'm trying to get that same quality in the bird shots I've been taking. I'm almost there!

Thanks all for the remarks, heres another shot of the male a bit closer. But they have nothing on the yellow ones which are just stunning.
