A bird who only rarely showed, now visits daily ... looking to butcher? He's one I should feed, so he doesn't eat the others.

KJ, he is a Butcherbird. I already said that.

Lavender said...

Oh yes, Vlad the Impaler got his ideas from these birds!
Good thing I have a tonne of tiny skinks in the gardens - Mr Butcher loves them, but cant make a dent in thier population!
Anon - hope youre over your flu.

Lavender said...

By the way - I love these too!
Which made me think, what birds dont I love...hmmmmm, Indian Minors?

Ces Adorio said...

If he is a butcherbird then where is his meat cleaver? Hmn?

Haha, that's right Lavender! A tonne of skinks isn't too bad, they don't do anything but maybe keep your Butcher Bird around? Indian Minors are the only ones I can think of as being not loveable! Although brought a couple up in the kitchen once ... and had half a dozen nests above the dryer :)

He doesn't need a cleaver Ces! Watch his beak with the hook on it!

Ahhh, the wicked Butcher of AnonyBirdLand. The flying villian of them all. A handsome and dashing fellow, indeed.

I have the cleaver!

Perriette, he is rather handsome, and very good at dashing!

HAHAHHHAAAA Perriette, your cleaver is NO match for Butcher's beak! Oh. *running away from the two of them*

All this talks of cleavers is very disturbing.

You would be just as disturbed without talk about cleavers Madame XOX!
