Most mornings we are greeted by the warbling song of the Magpies and the cackling laugh of kookaburras, upon entering the kitchen the Rainbow Lorikeets demand there breakfast by whistling at us through the screen doors as the Scrub Turkey pace back and forth a few feet further out while we brew our coffee.

  Two of the Lorikeets are permanent residents with up to 20 others as occasional visitors, the resident pair sit on our hands while they have breakfast all the while whistling and murmuring softly to each other as they eat.

 As you work around the property you are constantly surrounded by native wildlife many of which I am at a loss to identify so the following list is far from complete and some of the names may be the common names or incorrect as I am not an expert.
