    I want to see your thrift haul🧐

    Got some great Terracotta pots with legs off the verge last month. I do love browsing the verges - lots of junk but some gems too. Also need to learn how to move some of mine on.

    I want to get a little bird, what kind sould i get?

    Small birds need more space than many people realise. They are also mostly flock creatures that require other feathered companions. Softbills like canaries and finches do not bite, but require more space per bird than hookbills like budgies and cockatiels do in comparison to their size due to a...

    Granny's gone and done it again

    Hoping for a speedy recovery for your daughter Cynthia. Weird co-incidence, my youngest sister is named Cynthia, and if anyone gets rushed off to hospital, it is her eldest daughter or husband.

    Insomniacs unite!

    It is a perfectly respectable 8.54AM here. But I spent half the night being woken by hubby turning the radio on for a cyclone report. He's lucky I did not smother him.

    What's the temperature where you are???

    22C at 8.39AM full cloud cover. We got a lot of rain overnight - but the promised cyclone was just a big rainstorm by the time it passed us in the wee small hours. Poor Exmouth got badly hit with even the emergency shelter building losing part of it's roof, will take weeks to set back to rights...

    Fantail Pigeon Color Identification

    I know nothing about fantail pigeon genetics. But quite a bit about finch and budgie genetics - some things are the same accross bird types. So - the dad looks like a mix of cinnamon and ino. If his eyes are red as they appear. These are both sex linked mutations. Saddleback is recessive in...

    Wild Emus at The Lilly Pilly Tree

    29C and raining steadily. 5.32PM of a Thursday evening now. We are between Cyclone Narelle (currently over Karratha, and a thunderstorm over Perth. Both are headed in opposite directions on the coast and coming our way. If they meet at the halfway point life will get very interesting here. We...

    Can Ivermectin Be Put in Water to Treat Leg Mites?

    Mother and I have been using one like that Debbie has shown to kill internal worms and external mites for years. We do it for caged birds at the vet recommended dose. For bad mites - vege oil and dettol - do seem to work better but.

    We have noticed a constant "flock" of smaller birds at our birdbath here too. Glad to hear the chicks are doing well.
