A very friendly ring necked parrot decided to help itself to a bite of my friends lunch. After deciding it wasn't to his liking, it was spat out over the side of the table.
Obviously, human foods aren't healthy for birds, but try explaining that to them!
The Village Cafe at Whiteman Park has resident ring necked parrots, magpies and ravens who perch around the cafe on the look out for a friendly table to fly down to. Whiteman Park draws in locals and visitors from other countries in droves as there is a wildlife park within the park as well as many trails through bushland where many families of kangaroo's lazing about. Mussel Pool is also in the grounds, as well a miniature train line and tram. So there's plenty to do.
I was very surprised however by how many people appeared frightened of these gorgeous birds, as they were not in the least bit aggressive.
I found it really quite lovely having a magpie sat on the seat next to me, patiently waiting in case any crumbs would be left on my friends plate...
