Paint Brushed Birds

[Lady Jane]

I marvel at the colors that some wild bird species seem to have.

What a beauty. Wouldn't you just love to look out your back window and see a bird like that?

There is a commercial on right now that features two parrots eating out of this man's hand while his little boy looks on. The birds in the commercial are two of the cutest parrots, with their bright colors, and it is killing me not to know what kind they are.

I have seen that nice commercial. Thanks for the reminder. I worry about Australia's colorful birds and all the fires.

Nature never ceases to amaze me. Some birds are so spectacularly colored in such unique ways. I worry about the wildlife in Australia too. I heard them say on the news the koala may be added to the endangered species list. No doubt many of the slower moving animals have suffered a terrible fate.

Do you know the name of the birds?

Yes, I worry about the people and animals who live in Australia too. I was talking to a guy from there online yesterday and he had to keep getting off because of the fires. The fires were a result of climate change, so sadly, we can expect a lot more of them.

They're all so pretty! And I agree with the author that "the banded broadbill looks like a kookaburra got attacked with a paintbrush".
