Re: Birds (feathered ones)

I have been working near Loxton in south aust, on the murray river. No flooding yet but the river has risen and rising. Saw a small flock of Regent parrots, maybe a dozen or more hard to tell they just flashed past but I knew I hadn't seen them before, I had to look them up.
Not so nice but waiting to book into the caravan park an adult pair and around 7 or eight chicks crossed the road in front of me, australian wood duck. At that moment a car came past and skittled them, I thought they were all gone but just one chick got squished, the others bounced off and the parents didn't miss a beat just walked everyone off into the river without a second glance.
A street away from my house coming home today there was a baby lace neck dove, the introduced species in the middle of the road with it's parent next to it. I stopped and picked it up and put on the verge.
