Birds like Bees













King Jack The Red Wattlebirds are too busy to be posing for a morning audience. In fact, they are like that all the time, even when they aren't expecting addition to their family. They won't even stop to say, "Good Morning" to me! ... Jack

Very difficult to photograph a busy bird building a nest!

I'll say good morning to you, Jack: Good Morning!!

Why would birds like bees? Don't they get stung, too?

I'm not Jack and it's night time where you are, Perriette. The Red Wattlebirds are busy similar to how busy bees are! You need to sleep!

Lavender said...

And they are fast! These are excellent shots Anon - Bravo!

Jack - I will say "Good Morning" to you while I give you a grape.

The shots improve Lavender, I promise :) Jack IS eating a grape right now!

Lavender said...

Another coincidence! I hear the theme to the twilight zone....

This post title is also very close to your blog name 'The Birds and the Beads' Lavender! ANOTHER coincidence! OOOOWOOOOWOOWOOWOW

Thank you MerlinPrincesse, you need to sleep like Perriette! I don't mean hanging upside down from a lamp shade!

Why don't they buy a house and put their nest in there?

Why?

Wizard Why isn't here right now BoiledEggInADeckchair! The Wattlebirds might like being busy as bees ...

It was NOT night when I made that comment! AND put on your glasses because I was talking to Jack NOT you....

The sky is turning yellow here, the storm is a coming!

Are the Wattlebirds from Wazzle Woods? If so, why?

Did you try that already BoiledEggInADeckchair?

You too need to ask Wizard Why, Perriette! It will be dark after the yellow sky has been eaten by your storm! Better sleep instead ...

These birds look very big. I thought wattle birds are small? There is a storm coming here too.

Good morning to Jack!

Lavender said...

Anon - Oh My, Yes! That WAS another co-inside-ence! How Bizzarre!
Im counting my lucky sunbeams today that there is no storm coming here today - just for a change of pace.

These are Red Wattlebirds Ces - one of the largest Australian honeyeaters, about 35cm in length. That's Perriette's storm Ces - she is right next to you! It's afternoon now hehehheee.

The weather is divine when sitting in my backyard Lavender! I hope it stretches as far as yours, which wouldn't be another co-inside-ence!

These pictures are disturbing. Hi Jack.

Why disturbing Hardwax? A bit behind in the housework? I'm not Jack!

Someone is copying Ophelia Grim. Hmmmm......

Has Ces stole my storm?

kj said...

ces and perriette are fixing for a storm. lavender is channeling coincidences. jack is eating grapes. boiledegginachair is asking intelligent questions.

as for me, just hanging out....

HARDWAX said...

No, you're not Jack, but Jack is giving a interesting little narrative with each photo, I'M NOT GOING TO IGNORE HIM!
I think It's all the feathers and thin branches, I have a feeling if I stuck my head in the nest I would see red eyes and two inch teeth.

Perriette, maybe Ophelia Grim copied Hardwax. Ces is right next to you Perriette!

PHEW it is SO nice to know SOMEONE is just hanging out KJ! I will get to everyone's blogs eventually ... hopefully by tomorrow night!

Hardwax, you don't have to ignore Jack, but he is ignoring you. The first post named Spring Parade says so: "King Jack will be our perhaps not kind Compare, therefore will NOT be allowed near the audience or their comments." When I stuck my head in the branches there WERE red eyes (Wattlebird's), but they were my teeth :) That's where I left them when transformed into an AnonyBird!

You don't put your teeth in a glass over-night anymore?
