What loud trumpeting tune could that be … hmmmm…?
Tsup*!* Trumpeting his amazement at the black flamingo in the above photo perhaps. *!*
I do like these swans Tsup *!*
... and love the first photo beautiful *!*
Tsup*!* Tsup*!* Bimbimbie! Hhehheee, that swan hiding its head could be a silhouette of pink flamingo! Who knows the depth of the water, I wasn’t going to go wading to find out. Bring me my Swan costume! Lucky shot the first one, she glided away moments later :)
Tsup*!* I think I noticed rain due in Sydney again ... you'd better hang onto that swan costume lol *!*Tsup
Tsup*!* The weatherman has been wrong for the last couple of weeks and it's very sunny outside without a cloud in sight, Bimbimbie! However, history dictates that will change by the time I look out the window again! Legend has it Pavlova's last words on her deathbed were "bring me my swan costume", but won't make them mine!! HAHA :)
Tsup*!* It's sunny here too but I'm still wearing my jumper ... will get rid of that once I get outside ... I'm just waiting on an interview on ABC national about a guy who is doing amazing things for the Orangutans *!*
they are a cranky bird for real!
Tsup*!* I might just snuggle into my jumper and tune into that interview with you Bimbimbie!
What did you do to them Simon? Hhehhee
Anonybird, how could you hang a swan? I mean, it's probably pretty easy, they do have nice long necks, but still, I couldn't live with myself after hanging a swan. Tres cruel.
Good photos though :)
*sigh* The birds are hanging on their own accord G3TFilms, because we are in the middle of a Pool Party but have lots of shots of birds when they weren't in the water. You're a Party Pooper! Better you poop beside the water than in it though ... hehheee :)
Tsup*!* Did you manage to catch the interview with Willie Smits?
Ohhhh, you mean they're hanging out, ohhhhh.
I'm not a party pooper... am I? I didn't realise it was a pool party... I'm not an elephant. I didn't even bring my trunks.
What beauties! I love black swans and could watch them forever! That first shot is an award winner. :)
Tsup*!* Ooooo oooo oooo! I did indeed hear the interview Bimbimbie, although working at same time (difficult to focus) :) My friend is the Head Keeper of the Primates at the local zoo and Willie Smit did a talk there earlier this month about Thinkers of the Jungle!
Yeah man, hanging out! You're forgiven G3TFilms, the party has been going for a long time (125 posts so far!?!) and action in Extreme Water Sports won't be starting for a while yet. It's just there's a lot of hanging about by the laid back Aussie birds and I keep getting more shots of all the hanging! You're lucky you're not an elephant, the water is getting cold!
Thanks Melissa, I'm sure that swan posed until I noticed it framed between the paperbark trees ;)
Tsup*!* Yes, that's another book to be added to my list I think. Our intelligent relatives have a real champion with Willie Smits.
What an interesting friend you have *!*
What I coincidence! I used to be head primate at a zoo.
Our jungle-selves are in need of a few champions at the moment. Thanks goodness for the Mr Smits of the world.
Tsup*!* The book is said to be "amazing" and hope it helps save the orangutans! My friend is even more interesting once you can tell him apart from the other primates! Hhahhaaa :)
OH NO! My being 'anonymous' may be threatened!?! I retract that last statement and will be visiting the zoo as soon as possible! Hey GTFilms I think we've met before... were you the one who threw a banana at me and *gasp, I can't even repeat it!*? I've seen a little behind closed walls of the primates! It's a jungle out there! HAHA
Beautiful birds Anon, although somehow, I never think of the swans as birds, I don't know why.
They are Ces, and I could spend my whole lunchtime watching them :) Perhaps they remind you of ballerinas or something else more featherless...
Hehehe! Your secret identity is safe with us Anonybird... we promise not to go around to all the zoos in Sydney asking if their Primate People know a bird!
PS. No, that wasn't me... I've never thrown a banana.
Tsup*!* ... oops! Should you suddenly disappear from blogland we will let the Police know a bird with camera is being held captive by a zooalogicalsydneymorphinprimate Tsup*!*
black swans. for some reason i think of them as rare birds...
(haha--this is a silly comment which i think is clever)
:)
Crikey not the zooalogicalsydneymorphinprimate! Oh... you mean me?
I barely have enough time for Possum (luckily my girl has plenty at the moment) let alone spare time to try sleuthing out the identity of strange Anonybirds in Sydney.
Phew! I'm glad that wasn't you G3TFilms or I would have told you to get a haircut and you should know Sydney is one big zoo!
Tsup*!* Thankyou Bimbimbie, your concern for my welfare is commendable :) I wouldn't bother with the police; I might have pecked the eyes out of a monster like that!
HUH!?! I see black swans all over the place and all the time KJ!?! You are a rare one! :)
WHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA! 'Something' just snuck up behind me!
It disappeared as quickly as it appeared ... must value its eyesight ...
Tsup*!*
Tsup*!* Bimbimbie ... thankyou for being there, that zooalogicalsydneymorphinprimate is fast ;)
I am a figment of your imagination
WHAAA! HAHHHAAAA so are "strange Anonybirds", zooalogicalsydneymorphinprimate! *PECK PECK PECK*!!!
My EYES, my EYES, my beautiful eyes...
THAT'S IT!
I'm calling the RSPCA! ...
Um, can someone read me out the phone number?
I can't hear a thing but for the loud splashing in Devil’s tank ... something large and ugly must have fallen in for afternoon tea

HAHHAAA! Okay! Okay! Zooalogicalsydneymorphinprimate can't be THAT ugly or Devil would have spat it out. Oops, too late...
*BURP*
*WetZooalogicalsydneymorphinmassofhair flops onto floor gasping for air after rejection*
Tsup*!* I dunno, I look away for a little while and return to ????? is erm, is anyone still breathing Tsup*!*
*GASP*!*
Tsup*!* Bimbimbie! I can *tsup*!* better now my beak has had a good workout!
Tsup*!* ... not sure if that's good or bad ;) tsup
Tsup*!* flying feathers .... I didn't mean you anonybirdy Tsup*!*
Tsup*!* of course not Bimbimbie! However, I can't see anything else here but a BAD mass of hairball. Not that I'd call it an "anyone" but it looks a bit like what a zooalogicalsydneymorphinprimate might look like ...
Tsup*!* oh heck, that bad eh tsup*!*
Tsup*!* It might take it a while to say something being so busy ... erm gasping and 'all'. That is a good thing! HAHHHAAA
Bugga . . again I am late and have missed the madness . . .um that could be a good thing. Pretty swans! Beautiful tree!
Oh dear! You're right Baino, being late could be a good thing ;) Heehee. Thanks!
*gasp*
Breathtaking!
Hhehhee, in more ways than one Miladysa!
I'm comment number fifty! Do I win one of those birds? *drooling*
SCAT CAT!
They remind me of fairy tales.
Of course Ces! There was always a swan in the background watercolours of Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, Puss-in-boots and Sleeping Beauty to name a few! I wonder if Snow White's evil step mother had a Black Swan in her garden!?!
