My suburb is near the harbour & was the first area in Sydney to replace many of our 19th century terrace houses with small apartment buildings, starting in the early 20th century & we only have a few later 20th century skyscrapers! but not many parks. ps. we have 2 major parks nearby Centennial Park & Hyde Park.

Pigeons & seagulls are everywhere, as are ibises whose ancestors left inner Australia in the early 80s following a big drought. I live in a 4-story apartment block, one of 2 that replaced 4 terrace houses in 1917, our shared courtyard with a bit of a garden has attracted a pair off rosellas for a number of years now. They like sitting on a window sill across the courtyard, not easy to photograph thru my window. One day the photo showed 3 rosellas!! I assume their grown up baby has it's own family now & as they now perch on a window in my building I can no longer see them
