Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus) juvenile
One of two juveniles that were being fed in a tree across our street today. You can see that the bill is beginning to change from black to red.

Sun was in front of me, the bird was all black.

I decided to take a walk to Sneydes Rd. this morning, the first time in six weeks I have been down there. It was a cold and overcast morning but I am glad I went. Having got some images of the Pipits and Kestrel I looked along Sneydes Rd. to the tree beside the irrigation channel that Arthur and Guinevere often perch in. From the distance - about 800 metres, all could tell was that there were two birds perched. I hot footed it in that direction and to my delight Arthur was there with one of this years young. Thankfully they both stayed long enough for some images.

Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
...from a visit to Buckley's Hole, Bribie Island. (Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.)
Pacific Black Duck(ling)
Scientific Name: Anas superciliosa
Description: The Pacific Black Duck is mostly mid-brown in colour, with each feather edged buff. The head pattern is characteristic, with a dark brown line through the eye, bordered with cream above and below and a dark brown crown. The upper wing colour is the same as the back, with a bright glossy green patch in the secondary flight feathers. The white underwing is conspicuous in flight. Young Pacific Black Ducks are similar to the adults in plumage.
Similar species: The Pacific Black Duck is closely related to the Mallard, A. platyrhynchos, introduced into Australia from the Northern Hemisphere. The two species are very similar in habits and occupy the same niche in the two regions. The two species will interbreed in situations where Mallards have been released.
Distribution: The Pacific Black Duck is found in all but the most arid regions of Australia. Outside Australia, its range extends throughout the Pacific region.
Habitat: The Pacific Black Duck is one of the most versatile of the Australian ducks. It frequents all types of water, from isolated forest pools to tidal mudflats. Pacific Black Ducks are usually seen in pairs or small flocks and readily mix with other ducks. In the wild, birds are often very wary of humans and seldom allow close approach. Birds in urban ponds become quite tame, however.
Feeding: The Pacific Black Duck is mainly vegetarian, feeding on seeds of aquatic plants. This diet is supplemented with small crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects. Food is obtained by 'dabbling', where the bird plunges its head and neck underwater and upends, raising its rear end vertically out of the water. Occasionally, food is sought on land in damp grassy areas.
Breeding: Mating in Pacific Black Ducks coincides with availability of sufficient food and water, and often with the onset of heavy rains or when waterways are at their peaks. Courtship is accompanied by ritualised displays including preening, bobbing and wing-flapping. This behaviour is often initiated by the female, and, other than copulation, the male helps little in the breeding process. Often, two broods will be raised in a year. The number of offspring produced may seem quite high, but only 20% of these will survive past two years of age.
Minimum Size: 50cm
Maximum Size: 60cm
Average size: 55cm
Breeding season: Highly variable
Clutch Size: 16

Junior was sitting in his car seat on our window seat catching some rays to help with his jaundice (which I think has cleared up now). This is from the same "shoot" as his grumpy look.
HNFF and TGIF to all of you. Thanks for the comments, faves and invites!
Soooooo sieht man aus, wenn man als kleiner Spatz irgendwo im Garten aus dem Nest fällt und dann vom Familienhund als neuer Spielkamerad auserkoren wird. Ordentlich eingespeichelt und fern der Heimat ist da guter Rat teuer. Gut, wenn man dann von der Familie adoptiert und von Hand aufgepäppelt wird.

Aren't these eyes amazing? I fell in love immediately. 😁
