Camera Critters
The other day we had visitors in the backyard perching on our mulberry tree. They are called Apostle Birds.
Apostle bird (Struthidea cinerea), also known as the Grey Jumper, is a
quick-moving, gray or black bird about 13 inches (33 centimetres) long.
It is a native to Australia where it roams woodlands, eating insects
and seeds at, or near, ground level. Apostlebirds often travel ingroups
of about 12; for this reason they were named after the Biblical
apostles, the twelve chief followers of Jesus Christ.
