It's not always the prettiest of birds that catches my eye. Patterns and bird behaviour is so much fun to watch and capture too. The bright light and the height of the perch helped a lot here.

En milieu sauvage :
Originaire de l'est et du sud-est de l'Australie (du Queensland à la Tasmanie), le Loriquet de Swainson est un oiseau très grégaire et principalement arboricole. Il vit en couples ou en groupes pouvant atteindre plusieurs dizaines, voire des centaines, d'individus. Très bruyant, il se nourrit principalement de nectar et de pollen grâce à sa langue spéciale garnie de papilles en forme de brosse. Il consomme aussi des fruits, des baies, et des insectes. Il est très actif tôt le matin et en fin d'après-midi, se reposant à l'ombre en milieu de journée. Ils dorment en dortoirs communautaires. La reproduction a lieu dans des cavités d'arbres. C'est un oiseau nomade, qui se déplace en fonction de la floraison des arbres.
In the wild:
Native to eastern and southeastern Australia (from Queensland to Tasmania), Swainson's Lorikeet is a highly gregarious and primarily arboreal bird. It lives in pairs or groups that can number in the dozens, or even hundreds, of individuals. Very noisy, it feeds mainly on nectar and pollen using its specialized tongue covered in brush-like papillae. It also eats fruit, berries, and insects. It is most active in the early morning and late afternoon, resting in the shade around midday. They roost in communal nests. Breeding takes place in tree cavities. It is a nomadic bird, moving according to the flowering seasons of the trees.

Many thanks for your much appreciated favorites and comments.
Pick a bird and add your note..
BlaisOne has given me that idea! haha
These birds were definately not whispering when we went by them though yesterday. it looked cool so i thought i'd take a photo. Not the most exciting though i know :)
There are birds building a nest atop the shutter at this window and Jane enjoys watching their every move.
Seen here, she is standing as tall as she can to get as close to them as possible.
This Red Wattle bird (Anthochaera carunculata) is nesting close to my home, he collects food in his beak and takes it back to his nest. He has no fear of me, will come right up to me and take food from my hand. he also comes inside the house but is less curious than my Magpie visitor. Red Wattle birds are a passerine bird native to southern Australia, they are predominantly a nectar-feeder, so I am surprised to see him take meat that i put out for Magpies, Butcher birds, Magpie larks, Kookaburras, Willie Wagtails and Cuckoo-shrikes.
The verdin is a common sight, and even more common sound, here in the Valley of the Sun. They the only representative of the Old World Remizidae family of birds here in North America. Both the male and the female participate in nest building, with the male building the exterior while the female does the interior decorating. According the the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, one pair of verdins in Arizona was observed building 11 nests in one year.

O falcão-de-coleira é um falcão campestre com ampla distribuição nas Américas, em ecossistemas abertos, os quais favorece.
Cyathus striatus I think. Birds nest fungi produce cup-like fruiting bodies that contain tiny "eggs", or peridioles. The cups are about 6mm wide. The peridioles contain the spores, and are knocked out of the cups by raindrops, and this is how the fungi reproduce.
