Spring into March!

Now I have Marches nature notes for you. At the beginning of the month we had a new visitor to the garden. Not 100% sure what he is - so open to suggestions :)



Even Doris was interested in him. This was after she had been give instructions from her friend macho crow!



Who then found the coconut (they had been playing with it for a while but pparently it now becomes a great idea to take it back to the nest haha.


We managed to get a stunning shot of the Magpie too - he does know how pretty he is!
Look at those blues and greens shimmer!

This is one of the younger crows, taking the fat ball himself for once - and making sure the camera isn't going to stop him first - very defiant haha.

 The magpie wanted to check out Doris's tunnel to make sure mummy wasn't hiding any traps (or treats) in there that she needed to know about.
 And Mr Wagtail brought his girlfriend into the garden - mummy wants to get a wagtail nesting box for these guys next year.
This is a great picture - the Magpie is possessed!!!!

 And I just thought I would share one of the last photos of the year of our little Robin friend. He has headed back home now to have some babies of his own I am sure.

Doris is such a naughty bunny sometimes - but this really is something else! However, mummy says she must actually be a very good bunny as she doesn't jump out of her run, even though she could! I am not too sure that she actually could myself - but then I have wings so I wouldn't reallt know.

 Both magpies looking very handsome!
Mrs magpie eats the fat balls how they are supposed to be eaten - meaning that the little birds do have a chance of having some also (the crows just throw the feeder on the floor and take the fat balls out).
 This crow is eating some of the suet they had thrown on the floor earlier!
More still to come!

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...
