Bird is the word

Australia has the most beautiful birds.   So many that we consider this our "big year" .
These are crimson rosella- seen in the blue mountains.  absolutely stunning

This one frequently visits our balcony- known as a Rainbow Lorikeet.

The one was in the zoo, notice they tagged its legs

This may be a duck- but hey it is beautiful

Just another Cockatoo, they also frequent our balcony and make a loud squawking noise.  Happy to trade the NYC horns and  sirens for the word of the bird.

Not sure what you are.....

 but Australian streets are filled with random empty "artistic" bird cages- waiting for you!

A flock of Galahs- in the vineyards at hunter valley 

 a roadrunner - spotted during a hike in Blue Mountains

Oh and more Cockatoos, on Hamilton Island

Birdy, why do you look so sad.....

because Australian's drive around in "no birds" cars

yep that's right- rental cars named "no birds"
still trying to figure that one out!

Cheers!
