birds!

Mar 06, 2006 21:37

This evening my daughter threw out the scrap/stale bread for the birds, which we do every day. We have a family of magpies who will take meat out of our hands, and for a while there we had 2 wild ducks visiting every evening. Tonight we had ( Rainbow Lorikeets! )

I didn't even know birds *came* in these sort of colors. They look like they'd glow in the dark. :c) Gorgeous, gorgeous. And how cool is it that they're right there in your yard?

*is jealous*

Those are some amazing technicolor birds!

How come you Oz folk get all the best animals?

They're gorgeous, aren't they?! We're very lucky here. :~)

Aren't they gorgeous!

We have a tree they congregate in in our backyard.
They get drunk on the nectar and boy are they LOUD!!

But totally worth the noise to see these vivid creations

watching them fly into the window again, again and again and never hurt thenselves never gets old to be honest!

Wow! Awesome!

Living in the city, I feel blessed whenever I see anything other than seagulls, pigeons, cats, or dogs. But we never get anything as amazing as those birds. Beautiful!

They make the most adorable pets! We had one that used to visit us quite often. She was so cute - her name was Gertie. We get HEAPS here cause we have fruit trees. Figs (they love love LOVE the figs) and huge towering gums and lily-pilly plants. They're so funny. You walk outside and the lookout (they have a lookout) goes "EEEEEEEGH!! EEEEGH!" like, "DUDE! HUMAN! WATCH OUT!" So funny. If I walk really slowly and quietly they don't mind. I got some pretty sweet photos of them, actually. But anyway. Whee! Love these birds. :D

Ooo! We have a fig tree in the back yard with loads of fruit which we can't get to - I hope they find it!

They were probably there when you started feeding them. :D

leelastarsky March 6 2006, 03:27:07 UTC

No, I'd have noticed them if they were out the back. ;~)
