sandeyeYesterday in the yard

There was a shrike tucking in to the nectar on my son's abutilon bush yesterday. The stems are not very thick, yet it hardly bent them at all, as it clung on dipping its beak into the petals of the orange flowers.
Brownie, one of our pigeons, was limping last week, but she seemed to be better yesterday. Brownie was sitting on the garden bench outside my window, nodding along to the music I was playing, most contented. I do not know if all birds love music, or if it is just the type that I play, but these pigeons really seem to be music fans!
We had a magpie come down to share the old unwanted homemade pizza pastry scraps with the pigeons yesterday. They do not come down multi-times daily for cheese any longer, but they still visit if they spot a cluster of birds munching something.
Smokey was trying to court a seagull on the carport roof yesterday evening. I think he is fed up of waiting for a pigeon girlfriend! Same color, but that gull was a rather large and noisy chick, lol!!
