It did. I was at a cafe on a berry farm and we all sat perfectly still to watch him. He had his little harem of girls all watching intently too. The cheeky little guy took a berry right off my plate. He didn't even get spooked when we all started moving again.

Yeah. Someone told me that ID when I was taking the photos, but I thought it might have been a different bird. Thanks. I look forward to finding more animals.

Harsha, you beat me to the ID by 32 seconds....grin. I'd agree that this is a Splendid Fairy-wren. Pretty bird; very nice spotting!
