Sitting on the fence.....!

This row of Corella's (Corella) sitting on my pool fence are enjoying the warmth of the early morning sun and the birdseed that I throw out onto the lawn each day. There is a definite pecking order, these Corella's and the Galah's (Galah) being a bit bigger own the first round....
Then come the Lorikeets (Lorikeets) the Doves,the Mudlarks, Magpies, Butcher Birds and the occasional Kookaburra... sometimes they get a bit grumpy with each other but more often than not they just go about the business of eating in possibly a more orderly way than humans in a canteen.....!!

The theme for November is 'fences', to see fences from around the world click here (Click here to view thumbnails for all participants)

    What a wonderful sight to see all these birds taking turns sitting on your fence. You are so lucky to have such colorful birds around all of the time.

    What a terrific post! And those birds - so colorful. We have an occasional cardinal or bluebird, but mostly just sparrows and doves!

    You have a wonderful assortment of exotic birds. Our feeders here are over run by House Sparrows who were introduced to N America many years ago and seem to have taken over.

    Cute. Wonderful depth of field as well. Galahs yes, parrots yes, corellas drive me up the wall - noisy little things.

    Lovely grouping of Australian birds here,Grace. I suspect your pool area is loud in the early morning.

    The birds at my bird feeder are nothing like these exotic creatures. Your post reminds me that I missed the CDPB theme for this month. Slept right through it. Sigh. Maybe next month.

    Interesting about the pecking order. I guess that keeps the peace.

    What a daily treat to see these fine-feathered fence on your fence. Hmm..the alliteration would make a nice poem title. Have a happy week, too.

    It's hard to imagine having such exotic (to me anyway) birds visiting your yard. What beauties! They could sit on my fence all day. :) A perfect shot for the theme day. Love it!

    Those are some great looking birds you've got on your fence. They make the birds around here look rather ordinary.
