Chaos!

Wow I thought my mummy had abandoned me today and run off in the sunshine. However, it turns out that she wasn't going to leave me in the house whilst she enjoyed the sun, but rather she was going to try to roast herself in a hot car due to traffic chaos outside! Gavgav didn't know where she was either - but did he come and play with me to calm me down?? Nope - he went in the shower instead.

GavGav has just started his 3 12 hours shifts for this week and he is currently on nights, so he sleep during the day. This does mean that I have to be quiet through the day - which can be quite difficult when I am trying to encourage the crow in his brilliant antics! My mummy had to buy a new feeder so that the little birdies could actually get some food as the crow kept throwing the lighter feeders onto the ground. However, I think this one is cool, and I am really enjoying watching the little baby Blue Tits feeding on it and chasing the spiders on Doris's run! (I haven't been able to get to mummy's camera to get a picture of the babies as yet - but I do have one of the feeder).

She has popped some suet balls in there - and I don't think she has realised yet, but the birds go mad for them. I watched two adults sqabbling over who got to have them earlier - the aerial acrobatics was really something!

We went out to see the ducks today when mummy went back to get her car (which she dumped on the pub car park due to the traffic :o ) and the babies are still very cute. I wasn't too impressed that mummy gave them attention instead of me. I am her baby after all - therefore I should get the attention!







Anyway - it is nearly me bedtime so I will have to go,

I will be back with more nature stories soon,

Spider drops

Ooh hello everybody, Have you come here from mummy's blog? To find out about this picture It is a pretty poor picture as the camera refused to focus on the tiny little spider. So GavGav got interested in spiders over a year ago now. He still has a slight phobis of them, but his way of overcoming it is to find out more aboout them, and the fear transforms into interest instead. It seems to be working as he likes to go out with his sonic toothbrush, making the spiders lunge out to try and grab it, and he has also got himself two taratulas. Hmm it would appear that we do not have any photos of them yet, so I shall have to get some to show you! Anyway, this interest means that they are more likely to notice spiders doing funny, or unusual things - although mummy has always been quite good at paying attention to any animal of any shape or size. Last summer she nearly planted an extra large garden spider. She dug the hole, upended the plant out of its pot, and the spider fell into...

Let's finish up May

Starting off with a couple of videos of the Blue tits before the babies fledged. They were in and out constantly!! Then we had Mr greedy crow, showing off to the camera about how many suet balls he can fit into his beak at once haha. This Magpie was finding something very tasty - we are pretty certain it was the live mealworms mummy put out and not a baby blue tit though. This little madam was winding the Blue Tits up - luckily the baby's were at the fledging stage before she found the nest! Some pictures of the pairs coming into the garden. Then the wagtails started bringing the babies in :) Flopped Doris! Just thought this was a great picture. And some baby pictures, as well as the blackbirds and hedgehogs. Right bedtime xxx

Introducing Myself

Image
Hi there, My mummy has finally decided to write a blog for me - so I can tell you all about the Nature we see around here. First I would like to introduce myself. I am a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, with some mino behavioural problems. My mummy got me from a pet shop when my previous owner died, and the remaining family were unable to look after me. This was about 8 years ago now! My mummy thinks that I may have had some trouble with the families younger children as my wings were very severely clipped (so that it took 3 years for them to grow back correctly) and I panic if ever I have to sit on somebodies arm, or shoulder, or pretty much anywhere (except maybe their knee if they are petting my head - for a brief time). I have some noisy little parakeets that share a room with me. They are in two cages of pairs, and they are loud when they get started (although GavGav tells me I am much louder and more annoying - I am not sure I actually believe him). I am not allowed to be in the sa...
