Breeding Crested Pigeons in Broome

10,000 Birds

Crested Pigeons – Ocyphaps lophotes are very widespread throughout Australia and can easily be observed in Broome on the streetlights on a wintery morning. The Crested Pigeons enjoy cooling off under the sprinklers in the parks and gardens on hot days too. Despite this article saying that they build a delicate nest we have observed much more substantial nests here in Broome.

Just had my lifer Cinereous Vulture this morning

10,000 Birds

I woke up this morning and checked social media before the coffee, only to notice a post: “MEGA – a Cinereous Vulture [a.k.a. Eurasian Black Vulture] with a satellite transmitter spent the night in the arable fields near Belgrade”. Superficially similar but unrelated to New World condors, it is huge, more pterodactyl-like than bird-like. I dipped it some years back — I am not aware of any local sightings since, and to this day have never seen it.

Frustratingly Common

10,000 Birds

Something that’s irked me more often than I’d like to admit is the inclusion of the word “common” in the name of a bird. It seems almost insulting, sure it allows some insight into the abundance of the particular species in a particular area at a point in time, but all birds are rare and exotic somewhere. The irony is most apparent when a bird so named is a legitimate rarity – I get excited whenever I see a Common Ground Dove , for example.

A True Mouse Anecdote -- does anyone have a similar story?

Reddit Animals

Several years ago, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. A gray blur which moved so rapidly I was not at first sure I had seen it but it repeated and I was pretty sure I had a mouse. I read that if you scale up a mouse to human size and you look at body-lengths per second, they are moving at 152.6 mph (not sure why so precise since they vary in size and speed).
