Birds Seen at Margaret House

Margaret House is surrounded by native gardens that attract an abundance of bird life. Here are just a few of the different species that frequent our gardens.

The New Holland Honeyeater is the most common bird in our gardens, they love the grevillias and bottlebrushes.

The White Naped Honey eater also enjoys the gardens, but is only sighted rarely.

The Robin Red Breast is a beautiful bird that we usually see on the boundary fences.

The White Breasted Robin is more common and enjoys the grevillias.

The Wattle Bird is often heard in the early hours of the morning and if it perches outside your window you may not appreciate it loud shrieks.

Usually seen and heard in the evening the Kookaburra loves to laugh at the antics of the humans on the ground below.

The Magpie is a beautiful and majestic bird that usually flies in groups, they are lovely to look at but care must be taken during nesting season.

We do see the most stunning Blue Wrens, but I am having difficulty in getting a good picture of one.

The Western Rosella

28 Parrot

These last two are not native, but we have plenty of them roaming around.

We love our Guinea Fowl, in 1996 we had 13 but unfortunately we tend to lose a couple each year. In 1998 we started a breeding program and have managed to build the flock up to 20 with a higher success rate than we ever anticipated. From now on we will just let nature take its course and see how they go.

As a child, my family always had chooks and now I have enough space to let our chooks roam freely. They provide us with a good supply of free range eggs and our guests can usually purchase eggs if needed.
