Hey!
I have got back from 2 weeks up in Queensland! It is really awesome up there, I go up once a year at least because of relatives. It was my grandma's 70th and so I missed out on school !Yay! Anyway, We went to a huge bird walk in avairy, like the one in Canberra. It is 3 acres big and has a 500m walk around it. The birds were mostly: Parrots, Finches,Doves and pigeons. They just got in 12 pairs of Scarlett, Hyacinth (sp?) and Blue & Gold Macaws. These birds and cockatoo's were in separate enclosures. They also had an aviary that had all the 'aggressive' birds in it. Ecelectus and IRN's! Yes they did have my beloved Indian Ringnecks! And boy, are they gorgeous!

Now...I suppose I should stop chatting and get to the PHOTO'S!!

We had the red-tailed black 'toos in our backyard. Apparently the yellow = female and red = male.

Anyway, beautiful photos. I wish they had something like that around here, so many different kind of beautiful birds.. and them B&G Macaws and the Electus.. oh my gosh! :love:
