What to feed a baby miner bird
Found a baby miner bird and saved it from my cats. It is not flying yet. Will be taking it to the rescue in the morning. What can I feed it at home to make sure it is not hungry over night/tomorrow?

Lorikeets
Hey yall i just wanted to ask if any of you knew when the lorikeets would return, they used to visit and eat a bunch of flowers (don't know the name sorry) and now there never there anymore, are they back to living in trees or would it be the flowers out of season?

We saw a noisy pitta!
We don’t have other bird friends and everyone else thinks we’re weird for being bird enthusiasts in our (late) thirties.
Shout out to the lovely volunteer at Mary Cairncross Reserve for sharing the experience with us.

Settled.
The flycatchers have now completed the nest, and what a lovely design it is. Don't worry...I wasn't that close.

Which type of bird did these feathers belong to?
Hi there. My Dad spotted these feathers while out on his walk this morning (Wollondilly Shire area of NSW). Looks like this bird met a not so great fate perhaps ☹️ Was wondering if anyone knew which type of bird it would be? Tried Googling, but no luck. Thank you.
