Having a Laugh

One of Cookie's relatives kept laughing. He made sure I didn't miss birds higher in the trees.

This was on the outer edge of the swamp. The actual swamp is below a Kookaburra's choice of environment :)

I love those guys, they hang out up the road in a small reserve, always hear them in the mornings, would go up there one morning to try to shoot them (with a camera!) but too many signs of unsavoury two legged folks around there....perhaps I will just hang some sausages from the Hills Hoist and take my chances?

Anonymous said...

Hahhahhhaaa, I want to see a photo of sausages hanging from your clothes line Lavender! We hear them more in the afternoon here, and there is of course Cookie who visits whenever he pleases. If you succeed in luring a Kooka, let me know and I'll give you the right recipe for his diet :)

I guess sausages would be a boiled egg's ally BoiledEggInADeckchair! Those that get eaten together... Are you friends with tomatoes and parsley too? Hhehhehheeee ...

BoiledEggIn aDeckchair said...

Sausages, tomatoes and parsley should be thrown out the window at aeroplanes.

Anonymous said...

Are you planning on a terrorist act BoiledEggInAdeckchair? Surely when you crack the window on a plane before the sausages, tomatoes and parsley are thrown out - the plane would go down? Or are you trying to discourage vomiting?

Ces Adorio said...

Oh Cookie's relative! An omen that Cookie will win the poll, with or without the Bird Stalker despite Jack's highly financed campaign machinery.

I think that any place is a full and happy place if birds fly free and are able to adapt. Of course I still think that their natural habitats should be preserved. I never really notice so many birds, I knew they were around and I saw them but now that I visit you Anon, I seem to see many varieties. I think I am more aware. My favorite birds are still the hummingbirds thjust outside our living room window. I wish I could hear Cookie's relatives laugh in real life.

Lavender said...

Oh Ces, I do miss the hummingbirds, tiny flying jewels that they are. Then again I miss cardinals, blue jays, and Oh, all the rest of them really - 'cept the starlings which are also down here.
I sometimes get quite homesick, but then one of these Lorikeets will rock up and then I think, eh, its not so bad after all! ;)

Who is the 'Bird Stalker' Ces? Hhehheheee, we are learning and noticing birds together, even if our birds are often different. I will try to do a sound recording next time Cookie's relatives are laughing. The problem is human's tend to yell and shout over the top of them ...

OH Lavender migrated! Hhehheeehee. I only noticed Starlings recently and don't know why they are disliked and called 'common'. The Rainbow Lorikeets do add colour to the day!

when the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin along...

so good to see cookie and cookie look-alikes.

the vote is rigged. it won't let me stuff the ballot. maybe elections among birds is not such a swell idea.

i am going to visit lavender.

today is the american 4th of july.

have a good day.

:)

Anonymous said...

Now KJ is singing like a bird! You usually stuff the ballot? That's right ... all fly off to Lavenders - I missed the fourth of July anyway ... it's almost the fifth here!

Ces Adorio said...

I don't know the Bird Stalker. Those cackling humans make noise instead of listening to the birds. Gee I wonder how Lavender migrated. Did she fly by herself on a jumbo 787 or flew with a flock of purple birds? Hahahaha!

Anonymous said...

Hhehhehheee, yes you do Ces! KJ says Ces was busted with boiling water. Is THAT TRUE Ces? Is that how you make birds purple I wonder ... is that what happened to Lavender?

Ces Adorio said...

Are you kidding? I love birds, except the ones that throw zinger-poop on people's heads. KJ is a poophead. I am gonna whack her with a tree or plant with giant leaves. Anyway, I enjoy visiting your blog. I learn a lot about birds and I love to see their environment. Not that I am some whacko environmentalist but I am dismayed by the senseless devastation of rain forests especially in the Philippines. I feel very sad that I did not see giant bamboo groves when I came home to visit a few years ago. I did not even see ONE bird!!! They used to be everywhere. People eat them - even the tiny ones. Also I met Merlin Princesse and Perriette through your blog, now Lavender. I knew Modroom from a long time ago. You made that video of my favorite drawing of his. I've always known JoyEliz, don't ask me why, she's everywhere. I told KJ about you and now she is getting me busted.

Anonymous said...

Ces, I thought all birds threw "zinger-poop", although not all of them aim for people's heads :) Isabella seems to be putting KJ back into her place; please don't hurt the tree or plant you are planning to whack with. KJ might feel threatened by all our mutual friends, also that our friendship is mutual :) Maybe you both base your friendship onto busting each other? A little bird told me (one that wasn't eaten in the Phillipines) you and KJ were and still will remain best friends!

Ooops, it's the fifth here now ... too late for a happy fourth of July!

Isabella Wellesley said...

Aaaah I wanted to come here today to celebrate your birthday. I'm too late, oh well.

Anonymous said...

Come back on Halloween Isabella Wellesley, Ces might let you fly around with no clothes on then ...

BoiledEggIn aDeckchair said...

Throw at the aeroplanes, not out of them.

kj said...

KJ IS A POOPHEAD?!

WHATTTTTT?

i find myself with two choices: i can either sniffle in the corner or throw cooked spaghetti at you.

then again, maybe you should take it back and tell anon what a doll i am, you little ----- -- ----!

:)

kj said...

anon, ha!i do not feel threatened. ces is very lucky to have such a wonderful best friend as i.

ps do you think this is the correct grammar?

pss maybe boiledegginadeckchair, merlin princesse, perriette, and modroom might like me if ces doesn't say bad things about me. i already know and like joy elizabeth. i am a fan of hers.
and anon, don't believe ces that i barged in on your blog. she gave me permission. so there.

last, isabella better not mess with me because i am nice to her.

(whew. that was alot to say)

Ces Adorio said...

Give permission! Who am I to stop anyone from visiting Anon's blog? I have no right. Birds are free to fly wherever they feel safe. Just don't let humans eat them.

kj said...

ces, eating birds is not allowed! but don't think you can slide your way past calling me a poophead.

is it because of what i called you?
haha

Anonymous said...

You would have to be very good at Shot Putt to throw sausages, tomatoes and parsley at an aeroplane BoiledEggInADeckchair; and have arms.

WELL! Ces and KJ have been having a BIT of a laugh while I've been gone. Thought the two of you were flying off to Lavenders? Stuck in the swamp? I'll never mention boiling water again unless it has to do with a boiled egg... and will forget about Poophead and the Little ----- -- ----!

BoiledEggIn aDeckchair said...

I'm a champion at Shot Sausage, Shot Tomato and ShatParsley too. I don't need arms I have Teapot Power.

Anonymous said...

How do you shat parsley with no holes BoiledEggInADeckchair?

BoiledEggIn aDeckchair said...

I blow it out my Teapot mind.

Anonymous said...

I already knew that. Hhehhehheeeee. Merry sailing BoiledEggInADeckchair! I'll give you a push *PFFFFFFFFFT!" Don't fall off the edge of the wooorrrlllddd ....

kj said...

anon, ces yelled at me for saying i asked permission to visit your blog. so i have to retract my prior statement. of course i have free will (wink wink)

Anonymous said...

;) KJ!

Anonymous said...

Are Ces and KJ the same person? Hmmmm....................

Anonymous said...

Perriette, you will have to ask her or them that - not me.

kj said...

perriette, the same person? no!

ces and kj are charmingly different. very charmingly different.

Anonymous said...

;) ;) KJ!

kj said...

i hate it when ces admonishes me publicly, anon. not to mention calling me a poophead. maybe she will instead declare how sweet i am. this is my second indirect hint for that and it's getting me no where. (she is probably going to tell me next to stop whining)

:) :) :)

Ces Adorio said...

Stop whining KJ!

Perriette, absolutely not the same person!!!

kj said...

note to ces: please make it officially clear that i am your best friend and you are nice to me. i don't want all kinds of sympathy coming my way because you have misbehaved...

anon, thank you for the use of your blog. i hope we are close to the end of this poophead issue. please encourage ces if necessary, ok? (i will reward you..)

:)

KJ, I am not Ces.

Ces, I am not KJ or Perriette.

KJ, I am not Ces.

Hmmm, manners CAN help KJ:) Ces, what is a Little ----- -- ----! Is it worse than a Poophead? Is this the sort of encouragment you mean KJ?

kj said...

yes, anon, tell ces she has to have impeccable manners toward kj on your blog. then i will write you a poem even if you aren't a mystery angel.

are you nervous about what jack will do if he loses the vote? i am a counselor, you know. i have a specialty in birdbrain therapy...

:)

Anonymous said...

KJ, you just told Ces yourself! YES I AM NERVOUS! You didn't hear me all the other times about Voting for Jack - birdbrain therapy just isn't good enough. Why did you study birdbrain therapy and not therapy for humans? I might bite Jack's head off first!!!

Anonymous said...

Absolutely are!! KJ, I need a counselor but would I be seeing you or Ces? Do you switch personalities during sessions? That way I could a second opinion in one place. hahahhaha I think you need the counseling.

Anonymous said...

Perriette ... I'm not Ces or KJ!

kj said...

periette, you want to be seeing me if you need a counselor. trust me on that.

if ces and i were the same person, that would be some yin yan composite! trust me on that one too.

KJ, I am not Perriette either! I already said THAT!
