Late post for the end of June!

Hey guys,

The Nature Cam is currently broken and mummy is trying to fix it. However, I have a backlog of photos to share with you anyway.

First off we have Mr. Crow at the end of June, when he found the peanut butter feeder had been replaced. He was back and forth all afternoon for this, but on his own! No babies coming in to the garden just yet - I just hope he wasn't feeding the babies just this fatty stuff!



He is also still up to his tricks with the fat balls - this is a lovely photo of him:

We also did get a brief glimpse of this little guy at the end of June, however he is not coming into the garden so often now that the babies have fledged - I think they are teaching them to hunt out in the wooded area, and round the houses.
And at the beginning of July our hedgehog came to say hi again too.

And on the first day of July we got to see the little baby crow!! Only one though, so far. Last year we had three and they were little terrors. This one isn't too sure what to do with the fatball, so daddy comes and shows him - making sure he leaves him a little bit of course.




Right - bedtime now apparently (I don't think mummy realises it is the middle of summer and so it is still light - meaning I cannot go to sleep this early!)

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...
