Oh what subtle characteristics that only a bird expert would know. Oooh! I can't wait!!!!! I am making something for Jack!!!!!!!

Ces, the not so subtle characteristic of a baby is its EXTRA LOUD and REPETITIVE high pitched sqeaking! Try to pick them in the sound file under 'Ruckus' post :)

Hhehhehehheeee, does Jack DESERVE something made by Ces? We shall see :)))

Wow, birds in Technicolor! They have a bit of a chain going.

They ARE Rainbow Lorikeets Tony :) Hmmm, do you think they are planning to chain up all Geeks or Jack's big head?

Lavender said...

Really special shots Anon!

The lighting wasn't great, so a bit grainy. However, all these shots were taken in under fifteen minutes - including the sound file. It was an extra busy morning where the birds are concerned. I think they are spreading the word about porridge which is much better for the babies than the seed or bread other humans leave out. Or complaining about 'Jack' being nasty about ME eating HIS head:) After this lot, I'll post 'Puffin' for you, Lavender :)

I'm delighted the Rainbow Lorikeets will inspire technicolour dreams Albina. Nice to see you with a smile :) Later tomorrow I'll focus on the siblings ...

Ces Adorio said...

Anything loose would be exciting.

KJ, what about placing a sound recording in one of your birdhouses that recites "Hello", and "I love you"? Would that do? Hhehheeeee.

There must be SOME birds fluttering about Ces, they are necessary for the evolution of plants. Plant more tomatoes :)
