Did you know some birds use their wings to make sound?
This is a crested pigeon (Ocyphaps lophotes). It uses its feathers to communicate with other birds. They make noises when they fly, sometimes being called whistle-winged pigeons. The wings can make different notes, high notes signal danger. For more information click here.
Here’s another visitor. I need help identifying it.
It is a Noisy Miner. Eliza Waters, on the other side of the globe in Massachusetts, US, identified it from another Australian blogger’s site.

Love those Crested Pigeons – what a hairdo! 😉
I think that second bird is a Noisy Miner, I recognize from another Aussie blogger’s site. 🙂

You’re right. That’s definitely the bird. Mine must have been shy. He wasn’t making much noise!!! Thank you

Indeed it is. It’s common in Sydney. Due to its willingness to decorate my balcony with its deposits, it is one of the few birds I can recognise.
