More Spring Photos Of My Garden

Gardening on a Budget. Using ebay finds and kerb side throw outs as containers. I made the bird feeders and bird bath from whatever I had at hand.

Love it. I love those birds too. Where do you live? I have never seen those birds.

These are great! And you're so lucky to get to have such colorful pretty birds around!

@Hannah V Thanks. Australia does have some amazing birds. The white bird in this photo is a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. It can raise the yellow crest on its head. We also get Kukaburras which are a member of the Kingfisher family and live in urban as well as rural areas. They have a distinct very loud call like a laugh and sound like a load of monkeys when they start up. Cackling and carrying on. We also get King Parrots which are emerald green on their backs/wings with lighter green bar on the wings and orange head, neck and breast and underparts. They are very striking.
