pardalotes - looking for suitable real estate.

These little guys are not too fussy about neighbours. They were looking for a suitable tunnel between the logs in the wood heap right outside our bedroom door. So far nothing has satisfied them. They are so cute and so tiny.

What a beautiful plumage (as Monty Python would say) - I have never heard of these birds, they are just exquisite. Love the one peeking round at you too. Fabulous trio.

How unusual, never heard of these either but lovely photo of them

@casablanca @photobird Thank you both for commenting. These birds are just gorgeous but not often seen in suburban areas. They need long tunnels eg in amongst the timber or drilled into a mud wall etc to nest. Pretty restrictive for them. We are so lucky to have some here. Cheers

Sweet capture. What lovely birds. Love their spots and yellow breasts.

@dkbarnett Hi Delwyn - they are just beautiful - only 8cm long from beak to tail!! We will be thrilled if they nest in our wood heap:) P.S. must admit - I only caught them one at a time but they did look cute together...
