What is your favourite bird?

I'm rather partial to rainbow lorikeets, because they remind me of my childhood. My dad had a real connection with them, and built a bird feeder in the back garden where he would sprinkle sunflower seeds down. Every morning I woke up to the sound of about fifty rainbow lorikeets enjoying their sunflower seeds. Now, I live in a different state to my parents, but I have rainbow lorikeets come on to my balcony railing a lot. Seeing them always makes me feel close to my parents again, especially my dad.
Plus, they are very beautiful birds, which never hurts.

Rainbow lorikeets really are beautiful, they are so colourful and chirpy.

As a wildlife photographer specialising in birds.. it's super hard for me to pick just one favourite. I love some many of them. I am particular to Kingfishers, but love the tiny wrens. My mother's favourite bird was the fairy wren and she told me when she was dying that she would come back as a wren, so I always smile when I see one. But I love the lorikeets and the rosellas. Been shooting little Eastern yellow breasted robins a lot lately. It's just too hard to pick only one.

I love black cockatoos! They're beautiful birds, and their noisy raucous cries can be heard well before a flock of them arrive in my neighbourhood.

My favourite bird is the pink and grey Galar. They are hilarious to watch, especially in a flock. Beautiful and full of character. Great Aussie bird. :)

My favourite bird is the owl, specifically boobook owls. I have loved them since I was a child. Occasionally I would see one in the pine trees at the back of our house. Once I saw one drinking from the paddling pool. A couple of years ago I held one at Raptor Domain on Kangaroo Island. It was a magic experience.

I collect owls I have them EVERYWHERE! I even have a cake platter covered in owls!

I think that it would have to be the two little budgies sitting beside me.

I have had a lot of birds and they have all brought me great joy but the one who was my bestie was a rainbow lorikeet. She was amazing and funny and sweet and broke my heart when she died. At the point of writing I still have my original cockatiel . . . 24 years old this year.
