I keep forgetting about this thread! No pics, they're too quick! but I take my dog in the field next door to us, the swallows are out catching food to feed their young ( can't wait until they fledge, last year we had 3 lots of youngsters!) but the way the swallows are swooping, inches away from me and my dog is unbelievable! Just glad my dog takes absolutely no notice of them!
Plus I've got the most friendliest robin here, every time I go out, he or she is there

That sounds like 'swooping season' here in Australia except we get magpies doing it. People wear ice cream containers with eyes drawn on the back to stop them, or bike helmets with pipe cleaners sticking out.

Oh I've never heard of that! I really don't like magpies, they killed a baby dove last year
We do have a couple of jaybirds here, most folks think they just have an awful squawk, but they fascinate me when they're 'talking' I don't know how to explain it, to me, one of the best things I've ever heard from a bird

How cute is our native Bilby? They're nocturnal, I've never seen one outside of a zoo.
At Easter time some chocolate companies make Easter Bilbies instead of bunnies which is great.
