For today's #BirdOfTheDay I thought I would post a video featuring my favourite little ninjas, Silvereyes, gleefully enjoying a bird bath. I love these little guys, always so playful.

Tawny frogmouth blending into the eucalypt canopy

Is it a bird, is it a branch? It's #BranchBirds ! Tawny frogmouths feathers mimic broken chunks of bark. Another, less appealing camouflage tactic involves spraying poo at threats to confuse and disorientate predators.

Adult crimson rosella showing their flashy red plumage

Juvenile crimson rosellas hatch with olive green plumage and gradually 'ripen' to #red over about 15 months as their adult feathers replace the juvenile ones. #BirdOfTheDay

Purple swamphen walking

Purple Swamphen #walking for #BirdOfTheDay. Their oversized toes work like snowshoes, letting them walk on floating lily pads without sinking. They're also powerful enough for swimming (even without webbing) and running.
