wouldn't it be fun to look out and see this in your backyard?  I believe this was seen in Australia.

Beautiful coloring on those parrots

The black and white bird on the ground (left) caught my eye!  I wonder what he's thinking?

@Kachina624  What a glorious picture! Thanks for posting 😃

@Venezia.  That's a Magpie and they are usually conjuring some evil deed.

We have them in many parts of the USA and Canada.

@Kachina624 - One of the most common rhymes about magpies (there are longer versions and variations, but this is the one I usually hear):

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told
