When we moved here in 1998 we had a lot of native birds visit the garden. This King Parrot was one of my favourites. He and his mate would visit daily and also bring their family with them. Sadly the miner birds have taken over and chased all other birds away.
But over the past few days I have heard the distinctive high-pitched whistle of the King Parrot and this morning I was so excited to see him land, nervously, in one of the trees. He was only there for a couple of minutes and I didn’t have my camera with me. ( The above photo was taken many years ago)
I do hope he comes back.
Good news! I hope he does come back and somehow can co-habit peacefully in your garden. He’s a lovely bird!

Those miner birds are very aggressive and they really like our garden so don’t think they will let any other bird in unfortunately

It has been suggested a water pistol it a good deterrent.
I will research the best gun for the the job.
I can also use it on cats, I like cats but not owners that let them hunt native birds.
Many people posess cats and dogs but do not love them.
Leaving them alone, dogs are pack animals they need company 24-7.
Cats are natural predators and should not be allowed to roam free.

I’d be building him his own house because he is one handsome dude. Heck, I might buy him his own tree. 🙂

Ahh I hope he stays, didn’t someone give you a tip about getting rid of the miners with a giant water pistol the other day?
