The currawong sits on the edge of the bowl.
Strong and sturdy; big beaked bird.
All shiny black with a white tipped tail.
And white winks hidden in folded wings.
He dips his beak, throws back his head.
The other birds are not in view-
They all respect the currawong.
The black one drinks his fill, then flies
‘Til his call is heard from distant treetops.
A rainbow of parrots return to my garden.
They all respect the currawong.

Jan 25, 2009 | Lots of parrots live in the countryside round here. I put out fresh water and seed every day to encourage them to visit.
I have seen 6 different types of parrot in my garden, all different colours and often at the same time.
