Default Wildlife in Tasmania

Just this week alone, I've had: multitudes of wild rabbits; a wild hare; wallabies; an echidna; beautiful blue wrens; and several sulphur-crested cockatoos feeding on the ground very close to my house, all in daylight - here in Tasmania, down under Down Under.

Beautiful rosellas having their daily slice of apple at my friends' place in the Blue Mtns near Sydney:

and they're plenty good at chasing away the outside cats.

Good thing we don't have parrots as we about go broke in the winter months feeding our feathered friends as it is.

Aren't you afraid they will take off with your keys? My Sister lives in Springvale. I went to visit a few years ago. I enjoyed watching the beautiful birds flying over their yard. They have peach, cherry and plum trees, but said they rarely get fruit , the white cockatoos clean them off. They closest colorful bird I have seen here , is the Indigo Bunting.

Hahahaha, never thought of that, them taking off with my keys, I would be in trouble then would I...??? And yes, we have to share our fruit with the birds too. This is the first year I had really large yellow loquats and I never got the chance to eat any, they were gone before I got to them..... The cheeky parrots get there very very early and have a feast!!!
