Good morning from the full tribe. And yes I bribed them with worms.

I don't think I've fully appreciated how small Phyllis is until now.

I don't think I've fully appreciated how small Phyllis is until now.

And conversely how big Betty is.

And conversely how big Betty is.

Yes, surely the size disparity is not all frizzled feathers.

There is not much difference in weight between Betty and Phyllis, a few ounces is all. Betty is all fluff.

This is why I worry most about Phyllis and Hawks. She would be the most appealing target for them. Phyllis is a little smaller than a leghorn hen. With wings the length of her body she is a good flier. She can take off like a helicopter and hover. If only she could see better.

Good evening folks

I travelled up the highway with my oldest girl yesterday to do one of the Cunningham's Gap walks. We did the Box Forest Track. It's only an hour in & another out but very pretty rainforest & mostly easy walking.

We picnicked beside the stream.

And for the non ~Aussies who think all our wildlife screams & is out to eat you, these are bellbirds. They are tiny & high in the canopy so you can't see them but their bell like chiming filled the forest. You might need headphones to hear them really well as part of the track runs beside the highway.

Yes, it always amazes me how little bird there actually is with a frizzle. They really are all feathers.
