@todaysbird I need some help identifying something and I was wondering if you knew something about it;
We’ve got a whole bunch of king parrots that live around the house, and I’ve noticed that some of the adult females have peach-coloured spots on the end of each tail feather while some don’t (none of the males have these spots). I couldn’t really find any sources on it so I was wondering if you knew anything about whether it’s a colour mutation of some kind.

(They’re not the exact same feather because I only collect feathers from the ground, but the one on the left has the peach spot and the one on the right does not. Both are from separate adult females)
Technically two feathers is not a full bird so here ya go

The Crested Pigeon! A commonly spotted native of Australia beloved for their silly dances and calming coos.
As with most common Australian Birds, there's a weird amount of people who mistake them for an invasive species.

Today's bird is Charlie the King Quail! He likes to get closer to you when you aren't looking 👀

I’m still obsessed with these pointy lads so I made some out of clay and I enjoyed it so much that I’m now putting some more up for sale on my Etsy

A Galah for @chromatic-lamina, looking soft and yet very attentive - probably moments from mischief, knowing them! Thanks so much for donating to help these kids!

I've been beading today - working on stocking up these cuties, two of my favourite local birds: the gang gang and the crimson rosella :D
The real birds are so full of character and amazing splashes of colour.
Available in my shop!

Went to the sanctuary again, the return of the Autism Creature.
Lyrebirds are awesome, this guy was really curious although wild ones tend to be really shy. Love this animal…. The liarbirt.

We’ve been very lucky to have a pair of tawny frogmouths sitting in the illyarrie in our front garden today 😁

The Gang-Gang Cockatoo! One of the only species I've covered to be known commonly by its actual Aboriginal Name! (either from the Ngunnawal or Wiradjuri people, although it's possible both called them this).
GangGangs are a pretty interesting cockatoo, as you can see their crest is rather wispy and fluffy rather than the straight feathers you find on most Cockies. The ladies of this species are quite similar but are missing the red face and crest of the gentlemen presented here. Instead they have an adorable grey miniature crest
