One of the local Crimson Rosellas visiting for a snack of seeds from a recycled dog feeding bowl. Taken with the old Vivitar Series 1 "all manual" zoom lens.

My avian friend "Fred" is visiting daily for a feed. Today I was ready, with a new auto-focus macro 50mm lens, so I could take the photos with one hand while doing the feeding. After an appetiser from my hand, we have an agreement that I'll put more in the feeding bowl. Second image in the PiP.

My Crimson Rosella friend Fred (or should it be Frederica?) has resumed visiting in the past few weeks, as winter is nearly past. He/she has me well trained to put out some seed when I'm called (loudly). How do I know it's the same bird? That little horned growth on the top of the beak is the identifier.

This wild Crimson Rosella, who we have named 'Fred', is a regular visitor and calls out for a feed of seeds when he arrives. He has appeared previously in my photos and was looking rather bedraggled when I last showed him at about this time last year. Yesterday I happened to have the camera nearby and the 90mm lens and the X1.5 teleconverter fitted - hence this portrait.

A wild Crimson Rosella we have named "Fred" is a regular visitor. He seems grateful for the seeds we provide - particularly in the current drought. This is his portrait, sitting on the feed bowl. View large, maybe while listening to this musical link. Explored.

The wild Crimson Rosella, who we call "Fred", dropped in for a snack of seeds on Christmas Day. Explored.

Last year I posted an image of a wild Crimson Rosella which had trained me to bring out some feed when he arrived outside and began to sing. He seems a bit old and worn and we've given him the name of Fred. He's now trained me to hand feed him. (2 images)

Well that's the name I've given this Crimson Rosella who visits almost daily. When he arrives he sings till I feed him some seed - he has trained me. :-) Explored.

We have an old dog feeding bowl in which we keep some wild bird seed. The Crimson Rosellas are frequent and welcome visitors.

Regular visitors for some seed.
