For the last two Sundays, I have posted pictures from my time in Australia. One last one in the series for now; this is one that illustrates that your idea of a wild bird is entirely dependent on context.

So jealous that you got to go to Australia! Someday I’ll make it there 😉 Hope you have fun!

It’s amazing that what is considered so exotic in most places, is considered so matter of fact in another.I’d love to have those as the wild birds I see every day with their riot of colour and ability to mimic. Here colour is the exception to the rule and though I love birds, I have to admit ours are mostly drab.

My Australian cousins are fascinated by our squirrels – and have no idea why we look at them oddly when they point them out constantly (though it makes Choppy happy). On the other hand, they seem to feel this way about my reactions to their kangaroos. The exotic truly is in the eye of the beholder!

There’s definitely lots of wild birds in Australia, especially in the nightclubs, Melbourne Cup week, the football, down the local shops – oh just about anywhere, really! They squawk pretty loudly too 😉

Ha! I definitely saw some at the MCG (and I am not even talking about the players for Collingwood on the field!).

He he, I’d better not say anything about Collingwood or its supporters, there’s a few in my vicinity at the office! You obviously had a very cultural experience on your travel, if perhaps not very cultured 😉

Definitely not cultured! But I figure it was more typical of a regular Australian event that the cultural experiences.

Absolutely! It’s fun if you’re near someone who yells witty rather than nasty things. I love taking the train to a match (my once a year thing), full of footy supporters all talking to each other, doesn’t matter which team they support 🙂

We did that! It was great fun. I was mostly shocked at how little people at and drank at the match. One reason Americans go to sporting events is to eat and drink!

Oh my goodness, I’m impressed the Aussies managed to be restrained! There is a lot less drinking these days, makes it a little more family-orientated (sort of!). I’d love to get to a US baseball game one day, if just for the food & atmosphere 🙂

They are quite fun! Paul and I live only a few blocks from one of the stadiums right now, which is great – we can just go down for a game if we don’t have anything planned for the evening. And if we happen to drink too much, we can just walk home!
