Under the sea

I am currently sitting in the kitchen with mummy! I don't often get to spend time alone with her - the little birds are usually around, and I only really come upstairs with GavGav, so I am having quite a fun time. I have been very naughty and had some macaroni cheese for my tea, but it is comfort food as GavGav is visiting his family in Norfolk.

Oooh he found some old pictures of me the other day:
 oooh I went to the beach and there was a big white birdie that hissed at me lol.

OK you guessed it - this is not actually me! See the eyes? This is a female cockatoo, and she lives at Tropical Birdland in Leicester. She is very pretty, and will go to almost anyone - you just can't get her to leave you again lol. Males like me have dark brown, almost black, irises. It is only the girls that are red (coz they are evil, me thinks).

Anyway, firstly I need to tell you that my friend the crow (you remember me mentioning him yes?) has been bringing his family to the garden. Him and his missus have 3 very noisy babies. You think I am noisy? Wait until you hear this lot at 7am clamouring for food right outside your bedroom window. Mummy hadn't even gotten me up at that point - and she wondered why I was already throwing my toys all over the place lol.

So mummy went away a couple of weeks ago and left me all alone at home. However I have found her pictures that she had taken. It seems that she went somewhere called Oceanarium in Bournemouth, and the things that live there all seem to really enjoy being in the water. Have a look!









Right now me and mummy need to get the little birds to go to bed (could be easier said than done!).

Bye bye for now, and great seeing you all.

Chuckster!

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...
