The sound of the chooks is such a soothing melody and they do so much good work scratching around in the garden. Jack loves them…

Hi Pauline- the bird is the “Sunbird”. Officially the “yellow -bellied sunbird”. (Nectarinia jugularis.)
Absolutely beautiful. The male, of course with his dazzling blue “bib”- is much more attractive than the female!
The other bird is the “red-browed, firetail finch”.
The sunbird is only found in Tropical North Queensland whereas the finch is found all over.

Thanks Al for the info on those 2 beautiful little birds. A flock of about 10 finches come every day to the bird feeder. Just 2 Sunbirds arrive, the female more nervous, hard to get her photo, and not as vivid as the male. There are 33 baskets of Zygo cactus that they flit from one to the other, lovely to watch.

I don’t know what the honeyeater’s name is but he is beautiful the dark blue under his throat is iridescent when the sun catches it. Yes we love the throaty, crooning clucking sound the banties make, the eggs are very good too
