First tour in a few years , we had a beautiful morning out at John Hayes Rockhole east of Alice Springs . Well done to Michele , she'd really wanted to see and photograph some wild budgies , we found a nice spot along a creek bed with quite a few flitting about and obviously breeding . ✅️

Budgerigar chicks & parent
Melopsittacus undulatus

I watched this hollow in one of the largest river red gum eucalyptus trees at Simpson's Gap in Alice Springs for a few days as these two budgie youngsters were very curious of the world outside their tree branch home, with the parents actively trying to coax their offspring to fledge. Within the next two days both youngsters would successfully leave the safety of their nest.

The completed artwork, a stunning piece featuring a gorgeous male Rufous-crowned Emu-wren.

The original is available for sale and will soon be on display at Bellingen Gallery and Framing Studio.

This painting was inspired by a beautiful photo taken by amazing photographer Jim Oatley.

Budgerigar pair

A male Budgerigar feeds his partner at the entrance to their hollow. When Budgies experience a breeding boom in central Australia, every nook & cranny of every available tree is a potential nesting site!

Oh doesn’t good, soft light make such a difference to an image. Budgerigar images tend to easily over-expose, especially the yellow colours. This image was taken a short time after sunrise when the sun’s soft rays cleared a hill and illuminated the bank where the budgies were coming into drink.
