Hi all - getting this up a few hours early as I won't be near a computer all day tomorrow (monday).

Over the Christmas holidays food is a big theme (or rather, overindulgence maybe...) so lets see your photos of birds feeding or something that could be bird food.

Black-winged Stilts feed mainly on aquatic insects, but also eat crustaceans and molluscs.

A couple from my family of Superb Fairywrens.

Female with a small moth. And female poised to swoop on more food. :)

Who's going to post a photo of their Christmas dinner?

Wouldn't chicken and turkey both cut it?

Tisn't the greatest photo in the world (with a little cropping), but in fairness she was right up the top of the canopy. Was quite chuffed to finally see one.

Female Paradise Riflebird with a couple of items for lunch. (some sort of bug and a spider by the looks)
