Saturday, May 24, 2008 - Today
This bird was found in the privet of our new back yard today, I am always surprised by what the parrots will eat. When we moved from a medium sized town in 2003 back to a place with more parrots in the mountains I first noticed this. When I was little the parrots I noticed where usually in a cotoneaster tree. 2003 was a drought year, so I assumed they were just hungry.
The parrots in this new yard can be up the tree while you are under it, which I find amazing. They are not very quick to fly away. We do have a cotoneaster tree there, and there are cut off bits of tree everywhere under it. It is quite cute.
My husband and son were driving to our new house this morning to work on the back of the house where the asbestos was removed. I have seen cockatoos when we come home just on dark, they seem to sleep in the trees along the river. This is a creek that must flow into the river nearby.
I find I haven't been able to go to the new house as much as I would like on the weekend. Today one daughter was sleeping over at a friends house, and the older one had netball. This is a new thing, this was her third game. It is netball that is only played in town, I don't have to drive her to football matches that are away.
The pond was pumped out today to see if the fish are really still in there. Hubby pumped the water into a childs pool until it was full and did see some fish, so that is great. We felt a bit silly feeding water, if you know what I mean.
