I went to Serendip Sanctuary, Vic yesterday and saw a good range of captive birds as well as wild ones. I managed to get onto a few Purple-crowned Lorikeets but no photos. I got a lifer with a female Blue-billed Duck.

WOW lots of variety there, looks like a worthwhile place to visit.
We were in Geelong in April, didn't know about Serendip, will have to visit next time.

A very nice collection of bird and very sharp photos. The head shot is my favourite
