At 3.45 pm on 08 February 2025 we watched a red-eared firetail finch (of whatever gender) and a (definitely-male) red-winged fairywren share the same feeder.
It was the first time in my life that I had seen members of both species within so very few millimetres of each other.
Well-vegetated, near-coastal places in Western Australia’s southwestern “corner” are the only places on earth where you can see these species, uncaged.
You may also be pleased to know that neither is currently considered “vulnerable” or “threatened”.
