Satin Bowerbird
Once again, another beautiful bowerbird. The satin bowerbird builds an upsidedown arch, similar to that of the Flame Bowerbird. They also collect things, again like the other bowerbird, but this one is more keen to collect. Often, they will collect garbage from nearby campgrounds, and hold them in their beaks as they perform their dance. The spot of bright blue against their dazzling dark blue feathers is quite amazing.

Caique
The Caique is another parrot, indigenous to the Amazon Basin, and also often found as a house pet too. They are very social birds, relying on a pack mentality in the wild to defend themselves from predators. They’re also very vocal with one another, sometimes even purring as they drink! Caique are also known to have two sentries on lookout as they eat. Their diet mainly consists of flowers, fruit, and seeds. Learn More!

There’s a bird sanctuary near home that takes in a lot of abused/abandoned tropical birds.
I’m used to Chickens, so free-flying birds who just decide to land on you for peanuts and walnuts is a novel concept but I’m not complaining. This was the best. 💕
