Skippy
So this is my current project, a 1950s post war house and a room that has not had anything done to it in 25 years, albeit they have modern extensions, ie wet areas, MB, and kitchen. Bloke is a mad joiner/carpenter who is an old site engineer in the hospital construction field.
So the walls are solid masonry and the ceilings fibrous plaster, and due to how the foundations were set, at that time, some movement has occurred. The client is a repeat after sorting the front lounge area and an extended deck area reno attached almost 2 years ago and was called in to sort this room and the back of the house out, save the brick work. Anyhow I profiled the masonry cracks with my festool angle grinder with shroud and diamond cup and then feathered the rest with the 150mm Rotex, cut out excessive gaps to ceiling cornices over the years with a multitool, then applied premium blue wet area base coat and taped [soaked] to all large cracks, repeat coating of base coat, and the rest premium top plaster coat. I have the green disease lol, festool, that big box is the LHS 2 225 PLANEX 225mm Drywall Sander in Systainer. I did the house next door which is a first on the road in that area which was a 1930s build and the owners are chuffed, looks like I just painted it, was the door I submitted earlier (an earlier sundries).

Sorry for the gruesome photos. This bird flew headlong into my lounge room window and immediately topped himself. Since I only have a phone camera these days, this is the only opportunity I have ever had to get a photo of one of these shy birds that lives around here (N.E. Vic). I have searched all over the interweb but I can’t find out what this bird is. Anyone know?
It’s not a tiny bird, I would say a little plump and somewhat smaller than a pigeon. Maybe same as a King Parrot in size. Feeds a lot on the ground. Shy and non-aggressive. I never heard it make any call.
The back is sort of drab green and the tail and flight feathers have a browny/red hue. The beak is dark and slightly curved. Looks like an insect eater to me. The underbelly is a lovely mottled yellow and green. I haven’t noticed any obvious male/female differences – they all look pretty similar.
Any ideas?

The dead bird may be an immature Bower Bird in which case there may be a blue eye.
