A crimson rosella enjoying a bath and flapping their wings

A mated pair of Crimson Rosellas have made my front yard their territory. They bicker with the neighbours daily and own this birdbath, I just pay the mortgage. #BirdOfTheDay #StandingInWater

At the end of every summer, male Superb Fairy wrens swap their brilliant blue for drab brown. This little guy doesn't seem to mind, he's too busy enjoying a bath with his lady. #SmallBirdSaturday

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.

Wild echidna looking straight at camera with his cute lil face

wild echidna showing off his strong front claws that are used for digging

Each echidna spine each has their own individual muscles, allowing them to be moved independently. Photo showing close up of spine pattern

Echidnas are egg laying #mammals ( #monotremes) with feet so strong that a captive #echidna once moved a refrigerator around a room. Fascinatingly, they have muscles at the base of each spine, allowing them to move individual spines independently.

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

They are very nimble :) I don't get them where I live sadly. These pics were taken along the south coast of NSW.

3 Straw necked Ibis perched on a dead tree on a moody day - black and white

Straw necked #ibis fly thousands of kilometres between wetlands. They like to visit Canberra mostly for our well kept lawns (thanks Parliament House!) and tasty bin contents (in #Australia they are known 'bin chickens'). #BWFri

European Goldfinch sitting on a branch surrounded by flowers.

European Greenfinch were introduced to #Australia in the 1860s by European settlers.

They move their jaw side to side to crush seed hulls, making them incredibly efficient at opening tough shells.
