this green heron was spotted successfully using bread as fishing bait. it’s suggested this behavior may have been learned from watching nearby people fishing. crows, seagulls, and other birds have also been documented using bait to catch fish.
the brush bronzewing is a small pigeon endemic to southern australia. shorter and stockier than it’s close relative, the common bronzewing, it shares the notable ‘rainbow’ iridescent pattern on the wings, found in both sexes. these birds feed primarily by foraging on the ground for seeds, berries, and insects. unlike many other pigeons, they do not congregate in large groups, and are often found as single birds or in pairs.
Happy Pride Month 2022!!!
