The Little Friend on the path is a Green Orb-weaver spider
Each day it spins a new web just the left of the path. it is about the size of your pinky finger.
But it is beautiful and luckily not very poisonous.
WELCOME TO DUCKNZZZ'S PAGE. This Page started back in 2005 as a Record of the events, fun and places my family are having. Having spent most of our lives in New Zealand, and 2 Years in Malaysia, and then in 2008 moved to Australia, which we now call Home. Then, I went back off to England and the Netherlands in 2016 for 2.5 years before finally coming home to Melbourne. Then, moving to the hills, just to find a community we like.

We have been feeding the birds out front for 5 months now.
And today they were waiting.
First was a king Parrot waiting on the Windowsill.
There was even a Forest Raven waiting.
But it was the King tapping on the window that made this morning special.
Kookaburras occasionally come into the garden to hunt for geckos and lizards.
But don't stay long.
This one rested in the front tree
King Parrots are rare in the forest so when they visit it is special.
They are usually friendly and some will feed on your hand.
This pair came to visit us and were around for a couple of days.
The queen in her green is elegant. Meanwhile, her husband is bright red.
He shares for her of course

This one has found after we cleared another Camilia
We call them Karens as they are noise and not polite birds
