The cubic #poop of the #wombat is a notable omission…!

A lot of things will lie to you in your life, but not poop. https://t.co/ttmJ3h7dse

@Ashrides @lespattinson1 No, we didn't know Les was in town! He must have some stories to tell about the early 80s in particular. Don't think we ever saw Echo & the Bunnymen live back in the day, but what a great band on record...

Black-cockatoo pants alert! #BirdsWithPants

Yellow-tails have such long legs compared to Karak (Forest Red-tails). It’s likely due to different foraging behaviour and more time spent on the ground.

@sakshiaravind @Guy_R_Jackson Wow! Didn't realise you'd managed to capture that instant!

Fantastic to finally meet @sakshiaravind and @Guy_R_Jackson today and to introduce them to a few of the locals at Cardinia Reservoir Park and Dandenong Ranges National Park, east of Melbourne, Australia #ownpics

#NotAParrot Relatively uncommon in our neck of the woods, a fairy tern (Sternula nereis) we saw today on #BoonWurrungCountry at Ricketts Point, SE bayside suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. About half the size of the crested terns we typically see #ownpic

@_erikaroper We would definitely go all the way to Pine Creek for hooded parrots. They're on our list.

@_erikaroper Wait... doesn't anyone at #ESAus23 have a @ParrotOfTheDay OBP shirt?! Almost as rare as the species is in the wild! 😉 https://t.co/JGmIadpsJy

@SandyHorne61 At our #SocialMediaHuman's last workplace, all the lights went off in the bathroom after 30 seconds if you weren't standing up and moving around...!

[Dr SWIFT PARROT @teamswiftparrot]

thinking of when i found redredD(ebra) in her nest in Jan 2022 - this was 6 years after meeting her as a chick in 2016 (she's one of the babies in the 2nd pic).

Debra is the oldest OBP mother in the wild & the last of the truly 'wild' lineages of this species

@dontattempt We stopped and waited, but it was a cold day and the bollards never fully descended…!
