Friday I had some outdoor plumbing to install (watering system in a garden bed).
For the whole hour, I had our resident baby kookaburra sitting on the grass about 10ft from me, watching what I was doing.
When I stood up, and asked "Does this meet with your approval?" said kooka walked over & inspected the piping before flying off!
I took that as a "Yes."
While out in the garden, we discovered that our Cocky Vandals have been back. This year, they ignored the Irises.
Instead, they attacked the bed of 30-odd Daffodils. Nipped off
nearly all of the budding flower heads! Didn't eat them, just left them on the ground, and chewed some plants down to ground level.
I'd be tempted to try Cockatoo Stew, except for the Traditional Swaggie's Recipe notes.
Today, after the rain overnight, we have a flock of about 8~9 Noisy Mynahs sitting in one of our large Eucalypts, living up to their name...
