Looks to me like that one on the left has topped the water level again but he tells them in the second shot to be shocked in the third! His wife has to convince the others the water is still fine ... does she succeed?

simon said...

:o) NEVER too many! ( oh except when they ruin the ferns around the feeder!)

They do like nibbling the new curly ends off fern Simon. Must be juicy!

simon said...

there is a receipe for fiddle sticks (I think thats what the curly bit of fern is called!!), so you must be right!

RED MOJO said...

Here we call them
fiddleheads and I have given you a link to some New England recipes. The birds are all getting along, perhaps scheduling a game of bridge for later.

Oh haha Simon, I was meaning the curly bits of each frond end, you know how the branches unfurl each leaf individually? I have eaten them raw when thirsty and they just taste like grass. Don't ask about knowing what grass tastes like!

Fiddlesticks Red Mojo! HAHA Thanks for the recipes :) Hmmm, if they are thinking of building a bridge next, we may NEVER see them enter the water ;)

simon said...

yes- how Do you know what grass tastes like Anon????!!!!

Which recipe did you cook Simon? Was it worth killing a baby frond for dinner? I had to show my guinea pigs at a tea party that grass tea was really delicious ... when little!

They could be devising WORLD DOMINATION Miladysa!

"is your lens the colour of water Simon?" ....

"ElizT, I'll have you know you are actually Australian, until you stuff up, at which point you again become a Kiwi!" ...

simon said...

raw!

Lens =clear!

:o)

Miladysa said...

World domination? Oh MY!

Can you have a word and see if they would like to start with my back garden please? :]

Melissa said...

There can never be too many lorikeets!

Looks like their discussing what's at the bottom of the pool ...

merlinprincesse said...

They do what human do when one is not looking. Gossiping about the one that is not looking... :)))) It's OBVIOUS!!!!
Hheheheheheh! *gossipgossipgossip*

Baino said...

They're so vain, I think they're checking out their reflections and taking notes. I can hear them jibbering a way "I'm the fairest of them all", "no I'm the fairest of them all"

Anonymous said...

At least I used warm water with the grass Simon! The Lorikeets will be there FOREVER!

Ooops sorry Miladysa, they have already started ;)

There is only a contact lens at the bottom Melissa ...

OH! Don't tell everyone MerlinPrincesse!

HAHAHHAAA, that sounds most likely Baino!

Overheard at the water cooler "Hey, did you hear about Jack's wild night at the bar?" and "Mabel's colored her roots again"...
