Hi all and thanks for adding me.
I'm an aging male with declining grey plumage and vagrant habits.
Cheers.

Welcome ernest! Hope you enjoy the site.
Ern, I trust your further contributions will be in a similar vein. And welcome from me, too. Can you provide a little information about the habitat where you live & the species of birds using it? Oh, and any particular interests you have in relation to birds.
Thanks for your welcomes folks.
I'm territorial Woko & my patch is one of grass & gums in a mid-north Melbourne street. Over the 25 years in which my chicks grew up there's been waves of competitors come through: sulphur crested cockies (loud-mouthed larrikins), rainbow lorikeets (too showy by half) and lately magpies (full of themselves). Even some flying foxes (straight out of a horror story).
I do fly inland for a spell when it gets cold, for a change of scenery, & have become interested in how the other half lives. They don't speak English so it's a challenge to find out who their family & tribe is.
Cheers,
Ern
How lucky you are to have gums in your street, Ern. Are those native grasses that accompany the gums?
No Woko but there's some remnant patches not far to the north of us, plus Merri and Darebin creeks to the West and East respectively with growing gums and dying acacias, and one small patch of native grass on the Darebin.
The gums are only in my yard sadly.
Cheers,
Ern
There seem to be plenty of possibilities for collecting seed & growing local plant species in your neighbourhood. The native birds of your area would benefit immensely.
