Fishy










King Jack Been fishing already! Grey-Butcherbird's feathers appear a little dishevelled, one in particular. Not surprising because he's tossing about a dead fish! Phew, who's stinky first thing in the morning! It's not Ces, she's just fishy for dinner ... Jack

I didn't know what he had until reviewing the photographs later. Light, shadows can make it difficult to photograph in the mornings ... That's one of Bearman's poor fish!

Ces Adorio said...

Who is Bearman? And what a coincidence Anon. I talked about your butcher bird on today's post with a similar title of Something Fishy

Anonymous said...

Bearman is Mr BirdAnonymous :) REALLY!?! I will be right over after my morning coffee Ces ;)

Lavender said...

Oh poor Bearman - hope he has plenty more fish! Was it a pond fish?
Great action shots Anon! I really really love the first one up - what an adorable killer! Tehehe

Bearman had a problem a week back with his large aquarium. I didn't know he was feeding the Butcherbird! He got into trouble for that, but his argument was it was recycling :) Wish the shots were sharper Lavender, but Butcher was hiding in the shade ...

Was the fish alright?

Brace yourself BoiledEggInADeckchair .... no.

Ces Adorio said...

What? Butcher did not fillet the fish first? He ate everything including the head? Hahahaha!

After some butchering Ces ... yes
:) I still haven't had my COFFEE!!!

And here I go about it the long way!

Tony LaRocca, Grandad used to say the eye is the tastiest part of the fish! You are missing out :)

How the hell did he get ahold of one of Bearman's fishies?? Are you trying to get rid of them, Anon....hmmmmmm............

Bearman paid NO RESPECT to his fish! That's how Perriette! No, it WASN'T me! It was a fungus which isn't me, and isn't a bug or a wog. I'm a healthy AnonyBird!

kj said...

these are great shots, anon. you deserve credit for them even though it appears bearman sacrificed a fish without his/her consent.

now then: where is COOKIE?

Anonymous said...

KJ, it was rather rude of Bearman, but sometimes family have to make difficult decisions, especially if one has already passed away. Cookie will be a major attraction, I'm sure! Well worth waiting for. He made me wait months!

ElizT said...

Your photos are stunning.
I never expected to laugh so much at an egg though.[Has he gone off the boil or something lately]

Anonymous said...

Thanks ElizT :) BoiledEggInADeckchair is very easy to laugh at! Maybe he's feeling there's egg on his face lately ... hehehehee.

Ces Adorio said...

Egg is funny. He makes me laugh a lot. Thanks for your comment over at KJ's but I have reservations. This blog is a ray of sunshine on a stormy day.

Anonymous said...

Did you notice how Jack suggests you stink like fish at dinnertime Ces? Reservations about your blog being in a Class By Itself? I don't think so ... but will leave you and KJ to have a major storm about it Hhehheheheee. It has been very sunny again - beautiful weather. Such a pleasant change from all the storms last month!

merlinprincesse said...

Maybe you didn't notice, Anon, but in the first pic, this bird is trying to feed YOU! :)

Joy Eliz said...

I always knew there was something fishy going on here!

kj said...

hmmmmpf! ces is announcing her reservations? well, i hope it's reservations for dinner, not for the award i painstakingly arranged for her. i even have an awards ceremony planned for her, hosted by hilliary clinton...

:)

Melissa said...

Mmm, tasty bits o' fish! Much better when they're been tossed about a while. :) What great shots!

Ces Adorio said...

Hey! Hey! I did read Jack's comment. I am going to be fishy for more dinners!

Anonymous said...

The highest compliment from a bird is if it regurgitates into your mouth MerlinPrincesse! I think Butcher might have wanted me to do the thrashing for him in that photograph instead!

Now you know Joy Eliz!

I'm not Ces, KJ! Is your storm going to be here, because I'm rather enjoying the sunny weather ...

Thanks Melissa, be our guest! Tossing fish about can feel good!

I was fishy for dinner too Ces! It turns my stomach a little thinking of fish for breakfast though.

We all laugh at the Egghead around here, elizt. Ces, why do you have reservations? I'm so confused.

How dare Bearman not allow us a chance for a funeral!

Anonymous said...

I'm not ElizT. I'm not Ces. I'm not Bearman, Perriette!

Anonymous said...

No, you are dumdum to assume I'm only ever speaking to YOU!!!

Now what about the funeral?

Anonymous said...

*I'm not listening because chatter clatter for everyone else BUT me*

Ces Adorio said...

I will talk to you Anon.

Anonymous said...

Thank you Ces :) I'm lost for words now Perriette is pretending to be me and answering comments from my visitors. Even worse, she doesn't think I exist and is even planning a funeral!

HARDWAX said...

Wow, great photos!

Anonymous said...

You are delusional again, Anon. I can carry on a conversation with others while here! Didn't Ces call this a salon? Why must you demand all the attention? You are NEVER satisfied!!

merlinprincesse said...

Hhehhe.... I like this conversation... :))))) You girlz are soooooo funny! :)))))) Kinda...

Anonymous said...

Wow, thanks Hardwax!

Hello Perriette, are you on the right blog ... do you know where you are at the moment? We are in AnonyBird's Backyard! Someone please throw her in the birdbath!

SO glad I'm a bird right now MerlinPrincesse! *flap flap flapping away*

tsduff said...

We have a kind of "butcher bird" here... so named because he takes his prey, (snakes, lizards and large insects) and impales them on thorns in trees for later). You ALWAYS have the coolest pictures!!!

Thanks TsDuff! That sound's like a relative! Not to me, but this Butcherbird hehheee :)
