I didn't have to go far for today's images, just into my back garden. I took them at about 7.30am yesterday morning when we had a short break in the weather. It always makes me smile to see the bigger birds like these pink and grey Galah tuck into the seeds, like this one below face deep, while the doves sit nearby with anxious looks on their faces. Well the doves had the last twitter yesterday, because two minutes after I took these, the rain pelted down, the Galahs scarpered for cover (moi aussi) and the doves, ignoring the rain settled into the trays and cleaned them out, nice work! I hope the skies are a little clearer in your part of the world and you have a terrific Tuesday....

ReplyDeleteOh, I love your colorful pink and white birds and how delightful to have them in your own back yard!! Hope you get some sun today! We do have such beautiful blue skies today! Hooray! Don't know for how long, but I'll enjoy them while they're here!

According to Wikipedia, galah is a derogatory term meaning "fool"---but, cannot be ascribed to these beautiful birds! How lucky you are to have these love birds visit your feeders.
ReplyDeletede tres oiseaux, ils ont de superbes couleurs
ReplyDeleteBeats our pigeons and seagulls any day!
ReplyDeleteHydrangea birds! How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteA short break in the weather can be good sometimes!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are amazing...
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised the Doves look anxious which such stern looks from those Galahs....!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful birds! Here it's raining too...
ReplyDeleteVery funny! I guess in the end the doves win, but if it were a beauty contest it would be no contest - the galah's get the prize!
ReplyDeleteOur doves are more grey than yours; I like those pink birds, they're so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see this kind of colour in my back yard, if I had a back yard!
ReplyDeleteWhen i was out on my morning walk yesterday which by the way it was only two and half degrees there were a flock of Galahs feeding in a paddock just down the road a piece, a most welcome sight indeed :-).
ReplyDeleteThank you for such beauty possible. Please have a good Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteYou welcome winter; we welcome summer. A truly strange world.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I'm truly amazed that the wonderful variety of birds you see in your very own yard.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos of beautiful birds - I love the soft colours, especially those galahs! Thanks so much for dropping by, happy it led me back here!
ReplyDeleteThese birds are beautiful! I can't believe you have these in your backyard. Great photo
ReplyDeleteThese two look like they have just arrived from South Beach in Miami. Lots of exotic plumage there. The plain doves could represent me and my wife when we're walking down Ocean Drive.
ReplyDeleteGreat color on these two cuties.
ReplyDeletethat top shot is a top shot!
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, it gave me the shiver
of OTHER face to face. How strange
your land- yet I have a real friend
there.

Unbelievably beautiful! Wow!
ReplyDeleteOh my - what gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeletepink is for females ?
ReplyDeleteYou have some fine friends there, I am sure the galahs win in the noise stakes too. Sounds wet east and west of the continent.

ReplyDeletereally, in your back yard ? amazing !
ReplyDeleteGreat captures Grace ... I love the pretty soft mannered doves.
ReplyDeleteI have happy memories of seeing galahs like this in Queensland, a long time ago- lovely, Grace.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky thing, all those birds!
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt mind the shower predicted for this afternoon into tomorrow (tho to be honest, a shower never last that long .. me thinks the weather guessers lying)brought such pretty backyard visitors .. we only get sparrows, house finches, pigeons, and the occasional bluejay
ReplyDeleteThat's your back garden, how lovely! I don't think I've ever seen pink before, it's so pretty. Good to see you again after my break!
ReplyDeleteThere they are again. How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJe suis toujours émerveillée de voir des perroquets en liberté, chez nous ils sont en cage !
ReplyDeleteUnique and pink!:)
ReplyDeleteI´ll remember them.
