Rainbow BeeEater

seriously one of my favourite native birds on the property, and yet there are so many awesome birds! thank you so much for being so involved with my photos and conservation work
Very handsome bird beautifully captured... shame they eat an endangered species though.

Just signed in to post a pic. My reaction - "WOW!" with heaps of envy. A stunningly beautiful bird equally beautifully presented, an obvious favourite

Such a beautiful bird - I can never choose my favourite - I say it about every one of the Aussies when I post a pic lol

@vignouse well of course they are not endangering our bees, and they actually eat a wide range of insects. They should be keeping balance, it's humans that endanger our bees :)
We should keep it clear - nature is about balance, humans are about imbalance or is it unbalance?

@annied yeah, I mean who can go past a kooka, or a tawny, or a butcher bird, or a lorikeet, or oh well favourite is the wrong word, they are all number one? ;)

@koalagardens You're quite right - thank you for putting me in my place - mankind is the greatest danger the planet faces... with the exception of wonderful souls like yourself who dedicate their lives to meaningful conservation.

Most exquisite bird ! such a sharp eye !

@annied can we just have a new favourite native bird/animal every day then? now that sounds like a total solution! hahahaha

@vignouse suddenly feeling very humbled, thanks Richard you've made my day. I was called out last night to the most beautiful 2 year old healthy as anything female koala last night. Hit by a car. She didn't make it. We gotta make every difference we can in whatever small way we can don't we.

Lovely Bird! How awful for you to be called out to a hurt animal that couldn't be helped, so sad!

@jacqbb I volunteer with the koala rescue and rehab organisation here. I don't often do rescues, mostly I work sat and sun mornings in the care centre doing the medical treatments on the koalas in care.
car hits are a huge issue, and we lose koalas every week to this. All we can do is race out and get them, check their pouch for joey, and if we can save them it's a wonderful thing. this little girl died through the night sadly

thanks for caring - it's a shocking situation as we watch the koalas die out. I'm doing what I can :)
