Apologies all - late again! Between the public holiday Monday and my day yesterday (which involved a morning giving a talk to a lovely garden club and an afternoon of back to back phone meetings - not so fun) - I am only just catching up on all my to-do list!
This week lets see birds or bird-associated things starting with the letter C...
Hope it's not cheating to put a few of the names around differently, just a little anyway![wink wink](https://www.birdsinbackyards.net/sites/all/libraries/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/wink_smile.gif)

I had a lovely surprise this afternoon, walking along the river after work. I heard a collossal commotion commencing collectively from a moreton bay fig tree. I realised that a whole host of crazy, cranky, chatterbox noisy miners and callous cowardly crows were causing this collossal calamitous commotion.
Over what? I asked myself
Well, I discovered there were four Channel Billed Cuckoos sitting in different trees, which was prompting the classically cautious crows and unCharitable noisy miners to challenge the Channel-Billed Cuckoos for control of the trees.
Anyway, that's enough of that silliness. :) This was the first time I had seen a Channel-Billed Cuckoo! I was surprised just how large a bird they really are!
Also contributions of a Classy Currawong, a Crazy Noisy Miner, and a Chillaxed Kookaburra.
