sandeyeLentils for lunch
November 6th 2009 15:23
I learned something new earlier this week - which birds do and do not eat cooked lentils. On the same day that I mentioned in my last post, the magpies completely ignored the lentils that were left over from my lunch. However, plenty of other birds investigated them.
In the end I got to witness a beautiful sight - all because I had cooked too many lentils…
A parent starling began to wolf down a few and then carry some one by one to a baby starling! After she had fed him a half dozen or so, she wandered off to look for other fodder - and then the baby went across to the pile of lentils and TRIED to pick a few up itself - but alas, it was not yet old enough and could not quite manage to get them in its mouth!
Having had a kookaburra visit us the next day, I have some kookaburra photos to share with you next week - but they are still stuck in my camera at the moment, as I have had a busy work week!
