Another standoff at the water bowl. This time between the colourful Crimson Rosella and a bird I have yet to identify, perhaps an immature Oriole ( see yesterday’s birds)?
Update: the bird on the right is a moulting male Satin Bowerbird, see this post.
Two regular guests at the bird bath are a native pigeon (aka Common Bronzewing ) and the Oriole[?]. There is a hierarchy among our bird visitors, typically bigger birds demand access before smaller birds, but an occasional skirmish is common. On this occasion, neither bird is willing to budge.
Learn more about he Bronzewing.
NB. Thanks to a lead from an old friend, Karl Ankers, we now think the bird on the right is the Satin Bowerbird.
