C – Cockatoos and correas
I have two different species of cockatoo that frequent my garden. Both are very noisy.
The first is the sulphur crested cockatoo that loves the walnut tree in my neighbour’s garden.
The second is the yellow tailed black cockatoo which roost every night in another neighbour’s Banksia tree.
Correa species
There are 11 species of Correa and they are all native to Australia. They can be of various colours. Some are ground cover and others are small shrubs like this one growing on Kangaroo Island.
Beautiful photos! We have mostly guinea fowl and hadedas in our gardens.

Hi Ronel,
Letter ‘I’ will show the ibis in our country. Our ibis are rarely in our gardens but one species loves our rubbish bins.
Amazing birds! Southern hemisphere birds are so much more colourful than ours in the Northern hemisphere.

G’day Janice,
Just visited your blog and left a comment on your C post.
I think a lot of our birds have bright colours so they can be seen more easily in the rainforests and also the forests of the mountains.
Australian Geographic magazine have written about their observations. https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/science-environment/2013/07/the-incredible-colours-of-birds/
Wonderful photos – I love seeing your countries natural life.

Hi Donna,
We are so lucky to have been isolated as a continent and for our plants and animals to have adapted over a long period of time.
Oops – country’s. LOL! No edit allowed, so posted again.
Gorgeous birds and pretty plant!
I’m looking forward to more of your photographs. What a great theme!

G’day Joy,
When I last took part in the A-Z challenge, I worked with a family history group and each post was long and lots of planning and research.
This time it is about where I have been and photos I have taken so less time researching.
Your cockatoos, in flight, is spectacular!
