A friend of mine described a bird she had seen on a recent camping trip & it sounded like a female Satin Bowerbird to me, a 'greenish bird with brown markings like tiles on its chest' 😄

Apostlebirds are found across eastern Australia and are often found in groups of 12. Their big personalities make up for their lack of colour 🤎
