Afternoon Delights

It's time to vote for your favourite bird from the Afternoon Delights of the Spring Parade! Please find the Poll to your right hand side which will close on the 30th of December, Australian time. Phew! Just in time for the hottest part of SUMMER and a POOL PARTY!!!

NEWS RELEASE: The Australian Museum sent an email saying Scientists from their birds section

"agree that 'Mini' is a Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris), which should make some of the contributors to your site very happy!"

All you birdbrains are 100% CLEVER!

Anon went stalking last weekend and heard Mini calling from the other side of the Lagoon. Then Anon started calling from this side of the Lagoon - it was very embarrassing. However, the bird stopped calling and Anon with youngest son watched her fly all the way over to this side of the Lagoon and stop at the top of the tree above them! They both believe the Starling WAS really Mini! ... Jack

Love

Wishing you all the best at this time of year and to remember those you love.





My sweetie will be in the trees somewhere most of the time, but she will be close to my heart Christmas Day! ... Jack

Fun

Don't forget you are supposed to be having FUN!!!!! ... Jack

Currawong Pie

Sad Story

Baino mentioned in comments below a Magpie Family in her backyard. "They are trying to discourage their very noisy and 'time to leave the nest now son' baby . .they're quite aggressive with it but it's persistant and just won't fly away! There will be tears before bedtime"


A cue to post a Sad Story.


The other morning, youngest Son and I spent half an hour protecting a Magpie from being attacked. It wasn't a baby but it can be 'that time of year' when families squabble.




As you can see, we were a little late from protecting the Magpie from being injured.


We were also joined by an Aussie Morning Walker who helped stand over the bird and told the story below.
