Your right about my confusion about lorees. I spent a few years stationed in England in the 70's and thought you meant a truck. Possibly you might find this amusing but Australians are loved in this part of the world. Outback Restaurants are popular because they are Australion. Anyone on TV with an Australian accent can sell anything. Actors with Australian backgounds are very popular. Australia is very well liked by General Americans. Some of the popularity may be be a result a WWII and the great cooperation our countries seem to have always have . I live about two and a half hours drive from Yellowstone. After your visit to New York you can tell me about it as I have no desire to go. The eastern and western United States are Diametrically opposed philosophically. Calif and the east coast share common values and the rest of west , North West, and central States share similar values. Our Civil war of 100+ years ago only ended on the battlefields.
There are many wonderfull things in Australia both on the ground in the Sky that I would love to someday see. But I'm not sure i will ever make it.

Cheers

Hey Garrybk,

I thought I might send some pix of the birds that I see often around my yard. We have 2 acres and some of the shots are in the yard.

The Magpies, Butcher Birds, Kookaburras I feed each evening. Also (some not shown) fed are Lorikeets, Pale Headed Rosellas, Sulpher Crested White Cockatoos, Corellas and Galahs. They all feed in turn in a pecking order.

Hey Garry,

And some more

The Chick in the former post is a Masked Lapwing or more commonly a Plover.

I don't now if you'll read this because its been over a month. i really enjoyed seeing the pictures of birds in your part of the world. I was getting together some pictures of birds here in Idaho, when i got very sick. I rarely get sick. But I caught some sort of respitory garbage that really set me on my ear. If your still paying attention to this tread I'll post some pictures. We have lots of raptors here.

Hey Garry,

I'm still here. Post away. Coincidentely on a past blog my pen name was T- Raptor. Long boring story behind it.
Looking forward to seeing your shots.

Cheers Marty
