OK - added the 2009 - great photo if you look!

 

I like the name of the coin so I will add one to my collection some time soon. Kookaburra just makes me laugh every time I say it for some strange reason.

 

Yeah - but I can't spell it

Kookabbura?

I have 5 Kookaburras.

1992, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.


Who knows the Kookaburra song?

No idea how I know it...Im not an aussie.

My mum sings it...and she isnt an aussie either.

But even we're close to being aussie than the kids from Ohio in the video.

 

Wow

I like Swanie River better but that IS impressive!

The 2009 Koala...it is a beauty, the pic does not give the coin justice

 

My Koalas are coming. I just haven;t reached it yet.

kookaburra sitting in the old gum tree, eating all the gum drops he can see. stop! kookaburra stop! save some drops for me...im sure i misquoted that one, but i remember it from when i was a child...pretty coins....

 

Very impressive. I'd nominate the whole thread for thread of the week if it wasn't mine to start with

lol, i hadnt even heard anyone mention that kookaburra song in many years, but i still recall the jist of it, nice coins, i like the one with the spiderweb...i dont have any kookaburras, ive always admired them though...

 

You keep coming up with these great pictures of birds on coins. The KOOK is one of the best. Thanks, now I want a KOOK too.

 

I didn't think of that and I've spent a good part of the morning studying Ikes

But I do like birds, its true.

 

Birds are great, I love them too. I have a few bird related coins, I think there might be some pictures of my ducks in my gallery, along with a few hawk shots.

three harris hawks, a mother with two large babies, very pretty birds...

 

You know, it is very interesting but the hawks in Brooklyn dine on the Monk Parakeets that have been imported from Argentina.

check this one out

 

Boy, they did make some changes to the 2009 coin didn't they. Guess the Aussies thought that barbed wire didn't reflect to well on the country's beauty. I really like both coins. And the old queen sure shines and dazzles on both coins too. No insult intended mates. You've always been great friends and treated us swabbies royally. Fantastic for our sailors to spend liberty there and this was said many, many years ago.

 

Wow, mrbrklyn, thats a fine shot....where did you take it? I take pics of alot of reptiles....lizards, snakes etc...and alot of local birds, as well as the occasional rare creature that makes its way through my property....nothing fancy like that though....I'm not good with tropical birds...is that some sort of toucan?
Heres some nice baby hummingbird shots I got in my backyard, the first is of mom on the nest, and the eggs in the next shot are smaller than jelly beans...they should have dates in the titles, so you can tell the age....the next year, another green hummer came and made a nest 1 metre away from the nest of the previous year...I wonder if it was one of the babies...

 

A very nice addition to your collection. Congratulations!

You shots a cooler! Mine was at the Central Park Zoo and the Bird was sort of used to people qawking at him in the walk through aviary.
