Charming Pups and Chiming Wedgebills
We spent Monday July 8, way out in the West of Sydney at Featherdale, a wildlife park first opened to the public in 1972. Our visit coincided with the arrival of Dingo pups. Commonly mistaken for the domestic dog, Dingoes don't bark and have only one breeding cycle per year The Wildlife Park celebrates the arrival of three Alpine Dingo Pups. The litter of pups were born to proud parents Tia and Ernie on the 27th May. During these school holidays (29th June to 14th July), visitors can get right up close and meet these gorgeous pups with encounters daily. I've always considered that I was fairly knowledgeable about Australian Birds, but I never heard this one... The Chiming Wedgebill. I wouldn't want this little chimer outside my bedroom window each morning, but a nice little bird nonetheless.
