I drive a bus and one of my routes is to a group of lakes where there are Australian Pelicans, Purple Water Hens, Egrets native ducks and Herrons. There are also Rainbow Lorikeets, Dusky Lorikeets, Scaly Breasted Lorikeets & Eastern Rosellas in the trees.

I think there is nothing better than seeing Native Australian Birds in their natural environment. Awesome!

The closest thing I think I've seen in person is the Indian ringnecks living in Amsterdam! Very jealous. I caught a glimpse of IRN here in the UK but I actually managed to get some good photos in 'Dam!

No I dont breed. I have 7 indoors (in six cages). I really dont want to breed, and to make sure they dont, all mine are males
