Good bird photo site: Canberra Ornithologists Group
There are some wonderful bird photographers who are prepared to show off their photos to the world. One such group of photographers is the Canberra Ornithologists Group (COG) in our nation’s capital city.
It is well worth a visit.

As Free as a Bird
This week’s idiom: As free as a bird.
Most birds are free to go where they please. Unless they are in a cage or aviary, in which case they are not as free as a bird.
Meaning:
If someone is said to “be as free as a bird” they are able to go wherever they please without any restrictions or worries.
Example:
When Jenny left home and travelled through Europe without her parents, she was as free as a bird.
King Parrot at Adelaide Zoo
The bird shown in the photo above is not as free as a bird. The photo was taken inside a walk through aviary at the Adelaide Zoo, South Australia. King Parrots are found as free as a bird in the forests and woodlands of eastern Australia.
