This post’s photo was taken only a few seconds after the previous post’s.
As you can see, the “bin chickens” were not the only birds then coming in to roost at Lake Monger.
In recent months corellas have absolutely ravaged previously well-grassed parts of the Lake’s southern shoreline.
From “golden hour” through dusk, the southern and western shores of Lake Monger – once a place where one could “feel the serenity” – have become one of Perth’s noisiest places.
Collectively, Australia has the world’s loudest birds.
Large flocks of corellas must be among the most cacophonous – perhaps, the loudest of the loud.
I think the recent, roosting ibis “occupation” of the pictured tree has deprived the pictured corellas of one of “their” (many) Lake Monger “tree hotels”.
