It’s been incredibly quiet out on the fence these days. These photos are from the 26th of March. I believe the galahs arrived first, then the cockatoos. The magpie turned up to get a drink.
The magpie edged closer while the galahs and cockatoos jockeyed for position. 
None were prepared to back down … for long.
In the end, the magpie dashed forward, grabbed the container in his beak and wrenched it towards himself – spilling it everywhere. He flew off in disgust. The galahs weren’t far behind.

Cheeky sod, wonder the cockies put up with the upstart coming so close

The crows have to do the same thing – they sort of sidle up to get in close then try to drag the water towards themselves.

You’re welcome, Barbara. We can add the lorikeets and crows too, not to mention the sparrows. ❤

I’ve spent some time today browsing your posts and have enjoyed each of them. At the moment, I’m thinking “Birds” is my favorite because I love the creatures so, so I thought I’d take a moment to tell you so.
