Oh NO!











King Jack Oh NO! What's THAT!?! It's a male Koel looking for the girls. He's a bit slow ... they were here in the morning! ANON, you can hardly see him in MOST of these photographs! What's that squiggly thing falling in the bottom photo? BWARK! ... Jack

What happened, your red-eye feature wasn't working? That's one crazy looking eye!

The males go "koo-el" which doesn't sound as bad as the FEMALES (have their call on film), although monotonously repeated Simon! I have a recording of the male's call but can't post sound only here. Watch out … those two in your garden will throw out a native’s eggs and replace them with their own!

AWWWWW thanks Catnapping :) WHAT have you been eating!?!

HAHAHHAAA, they do have very red eyes Red Mojo!

Wow, he looks like a fat white winged chuff. I have two families of them in our yard . . 13 birds a piece until they steal each other's chicks and supplement their numbers. He's the same type, right down to the evil red eye!

He does look like a White-winged Chough Baino! Just no white wing patch or dark coloured beak AND no taking care of their own eggs, especially 13 of them, then stealing chicks! HAHHAHAAA I expect to see future photos of your Chuffs, especially a mud or dung nest ;)

How did you manage to get *that* shot, Anon? ha ha ... ;) Quite the amazing red eyes he has -- the perpetual look of surprise! :)

With my camera Melissa! HAHA!! He does look surprised with his red eye from that moment but also has perpetual red eyes ;)

His eye is red with anger for you BoiledEggInADeckchair! Heehee!!

I LOVE the red eyes! How unusual!

I like him, he stands out with a silver beak and red eyes :]

He does have a certain 'presence' that can't be ignored Miladysa :)

A pic of a pooping bird is like a pic of a yaaaawning cat.... 8P Meaning cats sleep almost all the time. You go beside them wait a bit, make a little noise, they open their eyes and BANG they poop! Oups nope! They YAAAWNNN! :)
