Hi Annie, I've been in the back of beyond but noticed a real coincidence. I have a friend whose birthday was the same as yours and she also went to Darwin for her birthday! Hope you've had a great time.
This is quite interesting. My friend do have the female bird, The bird is red with blue/purple feathers. She behaves very well. My friend takes her to the guest house, where she works, every day, There she sits on the counter/chairs, etc. You would think she is a stuffed bird.
Fabulous processing. I am out of action at the moment so not able to catch up on all the photos I have missed over the last few days, but I do look at them. Slow going only typing with one hand.
Took me a while to work out what is going on here. Think I finally did. Glad you've had a great time. I too have been away - in Adelaide and then Melbourne, but Darwin is on the bucket list for next year!
that is actually his colour Phil - the female is red ....they are gorgeous birds
