A photo of a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo perched in a hollow or crevice on the side of a large, old tree trunk. The tree takes up most of the right side of the image and has rough, deeply cracked bark in warm brown tones. The bird is on the left side of the frame, about halfway down. It's white with a yellow crest on its head, a dark hooked beak, and a dark eye, and it's facing toward the camera. The background on the left is open blue sky with some light cloud. The photo is taken from below, looking up.

A photograph of three Australian pelicans standing in very shallow, still water, their reflections clearly mirrored in the calm surface below them. The birds are large, with striking black-and-white plumage, white bodies and heads with bold black wing markings and long, pale pink bills with a distinctive pouch. The two pelicans on the left are facing right, with their wings slightly ruffled and spread, as though mid-preening or shaking off water. The central bird has its long neck curved downward and its bill angled toward the water. The pelican on the right stands more upright and composed, facing left. In the background, slightly out of focus, two pied stilts can be seen wading in the shallows. The backdrop is a soft blur of green and yellow-green foliage reflected in the waters of the wetland environment. The overall lighting is warm and bright.

People who live close to the coast can often find penguins nesting underneath their porches. They are delightful creatures! #newzealandbirds #australianbirds

Protecting Queensland’s forests and bushland means protecting incredible performers like this, and the wild stages they appear on.

Close-up portrait of an Australasian Swamphen facing left. Its body is covered in rich, deep blue feathers, while the head and nape are jet black. The bill is large and hooked, bright red-pink, with a prominent red frontal shield extending up the forehead. A small, vivid red eye is visible against the dark head. The background is a soft blur of pale green foliage.

A couple of galahs out in the park looking for seeds, a bit unfocused as they were exceeding my lens capacity.
They were a happy relaxed couple.

A white-faced heron walks along the top of a concrete wall (out of view). It's a graceful grey bird with the distinctive long neck and sharp, straight beak of a heron. It has a pure white face and upper throat. Its long beak is black. It has two bright yellow legs visible. In the background is the blurry water and rippled reflection of the reeds and trees at the edge of the pond. The heron has a very visible yellow eye with a black pupil. On this morning, the water of the pond was clearer than I've seen it, and this heron was already starting to head closer to the water to see what it could catch in the early morning sunlight.

A Royal Spoonbill (Platalea regia) perched on a thick, textured tree branch surrounded by a tangle of bare and leafy branches with a soft green bokeh background. The bird is entirely white with long dark grey-black legs and a long, flat, spatula-shaped black bill, the distinctive feature of the species. Its head is angled downward and slightly forward, with a small vivid red-orange eye visible. Fine wispy plumes are visible at the back of the head and chest. The bird is facing left, standing upright on both feet, with its body in sharp focus against the blurred green foliage behind it.

Magpie siblings deciding who will be more dominant or just brothers arm (leg) wrestling? The one on the left is usually more dominant. Their sister watched on from the sidelines. They stayed in this position for over 2 minutes.

Yesterday we were blessed by the presence of this beautiful Anhinga, aka Australasian Darter. This is a young male, I am guessing he flew up from the river for a little wander and look around 👀 (apologies for terrible video quality, seems to have been cut off in the upload?) #australianbirds
