Some of my friends live in our yard, others visit it, still others live elsewhere and I visit them. Come and read about all my feathered friends...

Affection Junkies!

July 7th 2008 14:57
Those pigeons know who to suck up to! If Smokey catches me in the yard, he will follow me about. Maybe I go to the front to check for mail - Smokey is half way walking down the path by the house towards me as I come back. Baby1 and Bebe2 are now doing likewise. I went to fetch my laundry inside from the hoist yesterday, and as I de-pegged the clothing, I spotted a pigeon standing under the hoist looking up at me. As I carried the clothes down the path to the house, I almost tripped over his twin brother!

If I had not had my fill of affection loving pigeons, sookingly parading under my feet, I did some washing up and spotted a pair of turtle doves necking in the poinsettia. There must be something about our yard, you would think. However, I recently took a walk along the coast to Corrimal. What did I see there? A paid of cockatoos preening one another lovingly in the high school grounds! Whilst I did not get a photo of them, I managed 2-3 pictures from my trip which I will share when I get them onto my computer from the camera.


The local cockatoos are not quite as affectionate, though one threw a half eaten mandarin onto my lawn as if leaving a gift behind. They had been chewing lemons from next door's tree - hmm, I never knew cockatoos ate lemons before!
