🦜 We’ve had a couple of new faces joining us at bird feeding!
A pair of beautiful Pale-headed Rosellas have recently started dropping in for our daily 4pm bird feeding, including this one who was kind enough to sit still for a photo.
Apparently seeing them as a pair is quite typical too, as Pale-headed Rosellas are often found together in pairs. They’re particularly at home in the open woodlands of Queensland, so the bush around Cania Gorge suits them rather well.
One of the things we love about our afternoon bird feeding is that you never quite know who is going to turn up. Our regulars include King Parrots, Rainbow and Scaly-breasted Lorikeets, Galahs, Cockatoos, Corellas and plenty of others, and every now and then someone new joins the crowd.
It’s a small glimpse of just how much birdlife we have around us here. These birds aren’t simply visitors to Cania Gorge, they’re part of the ecosystem, feeding amongst the grasses and trees and playing their own part in the natural environment that surrounds the retreat.
For guests, 4pm bird feeding is a great chance to stop for a while, get a closer look and perhaps have the camera ready. Of course, some of the best wildlife encounters around Cania Gorge happen when you least expect them!
📸 Which got us thinking... we’d love to see your photos.
If you’ve stayed with us and captured a great photo of the birds or any other wildlife around Cania Gorge, pop it in the comments. We’d love to see what you spotted!
There must be some fantastic Cania Gorge wildlife photos hiding in those camera rolls. 😊
