Yes, she still comes for a snack, but her babies have "left the nest"

I had another "ring in" this morning...and he took food from my hand straight away.

(excuse my ugly dial...I am having a housework day and refuse to "freshen up" just for a happy snap)

[MoonOwl]

That's too cool!

 

[cam elle toe]

Yes, I now have a kookaburra joining in too.





She didnt want to share, but had no choice.

 

[cam elle toe]

I hope the kookaburra comes back.:thumbup

 

[PoopaSwoof]

I like the kookaburra.

 

[cam elle toe]

I like the kookaburra.

me too. I chickened out when I got close....she was going to take it from my hand, but I didnt trust that beak and put it down in front of her.

 

[MoonOwl]

Is that a piece of ham?

 

[cam elle toe]

Is that a piece of ham?

Why yes it is. Kookas and magpies eat meat. The Kookaburra family we used to feed at the resort I used to work at would get raw mince.

The mumma would "kill it" by smashing it against the rail, then feed it to her bubba's.

[cam elle toe]

I wish it were my yard. mine ends at the wire fence.....thats the reserve I back on to.

The one a dickhead developer wants to turn into 300 new homes.:thumbdown

 

[MoonOwl]

Oh no! Is it gonna happen? ewwww...

 

[cam elle toe]

Oh no! Is it gonna happen? ewwww...

Hopefully not. The local council has taken the developer to court. They by passed a lot of local rules and so even the council is with us. (the residents)

They (the council) originally knocked it back, so the developer went over their heads to the State Government, who then approved it sight unseen, and without looking into it properly.:thumbdown:mad

 

[MoonOwl]

Dontcha hate that.

 

[cam elle toe]

Yes. I am quietly confident though.

The highway upgrade will help to knock it on the head....not enough infrastructure to support that many more residents.

[Codrus]

and plenty of room for the Roo's.

and plenty of room for the Roo's.

not to mention the cows, horses, maggies and kookaburra's.

There is also a family of plovers out there. I just hope daddy plover does his job if any nasty developers go on site.:cool
