Bountiful Birds
The wonderful season has produced a bird boom in Western Queensland. The Mulga Parrots are out and about in an abundance. As I walk around in the great outdoors of late, the Mulga Parrot population (which has increased magnificently) skitters around me. They flutter from being on the ground to up in the branches, and back down to the ground - always keeping about 5 metres ahead of me. Are the Mulga parrots expressing their happiness at the huge food supply? The seed heads of the grass are not only rippling hypnotically in the breezes, however they are also starting to get so heavy that the seed heads are bowing to the ground. The insect population is also booming as well, so all birds must be well fed at the moment.
The poor little swallows that commonly build their mud nests under bridges may have seen their homes submerged in recent weeks. These marvellous little architects and builders will no doubt be out and about collecting more mud to rebuild their nests.
The birds are bountiful in Western Queensland in 2010.
