MJ's little flock

[Aussie-Chookmum]

Since it's not considered to be deadly, most likely it is real.

They're not deadly but they do have venomous spurs (IIRC)

Just the males though! The females will just gum you to death with their beaks.

You guys are cracking me up today! First RC put sunnieson the roadrunners and now this! Gummed to death by a platypus! Don't wear thongs! Covered shoes only or a platypus will attach to your pinky toe and gum you to death.

We wiggled the half wine barrel into the funrun and I placed a couple of logs to act as a step ladder. The next task is to cut the right lid for it so very little rain gets in. Or put it on its side and block up the entrance somewhat.

I also cut a little piece of wood, painted it and attached it with cable ties to block off the latest sparrow superhighway. The pop door still opens up just fine.

As I tap out this message, there are no sparrows in the funrun.

That barrel could have an umbrella planted in it or attached to the side, or an awning attached to the frame above it. Either could look very pretty and keep off the rain (and sun). Just an idea.

True story, this week two southern right whales have been hanging around off one of Adelaide's beaches. A mother and calf. Of course one twit had to go out too close to them on his kite surfing board

That is so cool. Seeing the humpback whales was one of the great experiences of my life.

Yeah, I saw that. He's been charged.

Good!
