Outside my Window


The Corella, known as the Bare-eyed Cockatoo is a white cockatoo native to Australia and New Guinea. They resemble their larger white counterpart except they are smaller in size and omit the yellow head crest. The colder weather in Queensland sends the Corella off to central Australia during the winter months.



                                                     
When loud screeching erupted on the roadside electrical wires outside my bedroom I rejoiced as this inform's me of warmer weather on the way. These cheeky birds walk up and down the wiring telling each other off while keeping a strict eye open for danger. They often sit in pairs to prune one another.
Humans could learn from their loving natures.



They grow from 36 to 39 cm (13 to 15 inches) in length and congregate in flocks of up to several thousand birds, which often include many galahs.

The birds generally roost in trees overnight, and fly off to feed in the early morning with an almost deafening screech. They mostly feed on the ground, eating seeds which include wheat and barley crops. The bird is so common that it has become a pest throughout much of Australia. It can be destructive to the trees in which it perches, by chewing the bark off smaller twigs.
Some become household pets,  learning to talk.

In Luke 12:34
Jesus said, “And how much more valuable you are than birds!
Who of you by worrying, can add a single hour to his life?
Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?”

  1. How wonderful to see these beautiful exotic birds from your window. We have so many cats around here I only see pigeons and seagulls, occasionally a bluetit or robin but I still feed them.
    Have a wonderful Sunday.

  4. Hi all...I am laughing. I do remember the movie of the birds. I think they were crows...wasn't it terrifying!!

    I love birds, but these are naughty and peck at our fruit.
    Yet... they wake you up early in the morning as they gladly rejoice over the day. God bless all.

  8. As I was reading your post I was thinking about how most of the birds I see outside my windows are pigeons. Then I read the other comments and saw that I am not the only one! I love the 3rd picture, the sky in the background looks amazing.

  10. to consider these as a pest is a matter of perspective, the human one... not the divine one. i say, let them be.

  15. I think one of the many reasons that I enjoy your posts so much is that you're so aware of the beauty around you. For a couple years, I've been keeping a little notebook that I call my "Nature Notes." In it, I write down the first appearance of the local flowers, or returning birds, the first bull-frog's call, or the first fawn spotted that season. It's amazing what's out there and how predictable some things are (while others aren't). Good verse, too! We forget that too often.

  16. Right out your window - we don't have those birds around me. I love the pink ones. Jesus is a wonderful painter isn't he?
