May holidays

Well....mummy and Gav Gav went away last week. They do leave me with a pet sitter but I spend a lot of time alone so I get very clingy. I was so happy when they came back home. I think I should get both mummy and GavGav, AND the pet sitter -  then I will always be spoilt! The pet sitter was very happy as I spoke to her this time - I don't usually I just sit and look pretty ha.

Anyway, some more pictures from the garden (the camera didn't work whilst mummy and Gav were away so there is no record for mummy of what came into the garden - I could tell her that there were 2x blue tits, 2x wagtails, a crow and a magpie or two, as well as possibly a hedgehog and the rat, oh and a blackbird, but she prefers to see it with her own eyes!).


First of all I thought I would share these Magpie shots with you - I love the effect of the shadow on the fence! Such stunning birds (if a little bit noisy at times).

 We managed to capture this in-flight fight between the male wagtail and blue tit. I just don't think the blue tit liked him getting so close to the nest as they do have babies in there, and usually these guys get along fine. The wagtails don't have chicks in the garden but both will pop in to get the mealworms when mummy puts them out.
 This cheeky crow was trying to get to the mealworms we think! It doesn't seem to show any interest in the nest at all luckily!
And here is Mr.Wagtail saying thanks for the mealworms :)





 The crow enjoyed his fat ball in several pieces before flying off with it...
...and then Doris noticed the new grass too!!




And then crow see Doris on the grass - and decides he is not in the mood to play today! Poor Dosy!!

Right mummy says it is my bedtime now as she has to go sort the inverts out! It is still light outside - how can I go to bed now?!?!

Night night everybirdy!

Spider drops

Image
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

Image
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...
