Quite a Mouthful

Yesterday I posted a photo of Mr Butcherbird and here is a photo of his Mrs with a mouthful of meat ready to take it home.
Oh, that is quite a mouthful! Nice catch for you both. :-)

I am quite taken with this little bird so thought that I would google some more information. It’s amazing what you learn!!
…..And generally speaking, birds don't fart; they lack the stomach bacteria that builds up gas in their intestines.19 Oct 2018 🤣

@ludwigsdiana Ente3rtainment is costly, ha ha.
We buy cheap mince for the butcherbirds and kookaburras, bird seed and sunflower seeds for the lorikeets, corellas and pigeons and fruit and nuts for the possums. Everything in our garden is well fed. When the blue tongue lizards wake up in early
Spring we will no doubt be feeding them too. No wonder we get regular visitors.

@terryliv Yes, your house is a bit like ours isn't it.

@wakelys Well there you go, ha ha. Learn something new every day.

I’ve never seen one of these before. So carnivorous.

Great capture! Butcher birds are new to me! Our meat eating birds are big and wild! Buzzards, vultures, eagles, to name a few.

@carolinesdreams @dutchothotmailcom @radiogirl @dide @casablanca @taffy @pdulis @salza @denful @gijsje @carolmw @rosiekind @helenhall @busylady @elisasaeter @carole_sandford Thanks, we are so lucky to have so many lovely birds in our garden and because they are regulars they are used to me taking photos of them.

@louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann. We get the big meat eating birds too, but the butcherbirds mainly eat small insects and lizards etc until of course they find someone like me who buys meat for them to eat. ha ha

@ladymagpie Ha ha, the butcherbirds do share the shopping though.

@happypat They probably do have youngsters by this stage and no doubt we will be seeing the babies once they fly the nest. I will try and get a photo when they do arrive. Butcherbirds always take their food home though and store it on a branch.

@olivetreeann Most of the regular birds in our garden are quite happy to pose while I take their photo because they know they are going to be fed.
