I'm going to have to find a name for her. She's survived and she's a bit of a nutter much like her mum.

Good evening folks

What beautiful Sunrises... I'm not a fan of weasels either, though the dog makes sure I don't have issues with them.

Here are pics of my birds, not all, just the ones willing to have their pic taken.

The site has some wonderful animal art apart from weasels.
I find it hard to condemn any creature for natural behviour.

I don't. I take it personally.

This ~ though there are animals I'm not a fan of: nearly all monkeys & apes. Orangutans would be the exception.

I've been scared of monkeys, aspires, orangutans, etc. since I saw the Wizard of Oz as a young child. I still have nightmares about them. My family thinks it's funny. They give me monkey presents all the time.

Yup. You can read about the breed here: Livestock Conservancy. As for turkeys, well they are mostly like big feathered dogs. They love attention and are super curious. Imagine a meter tall bird setting in your lap wanting cuddles. When they go broody, well think of a snake. Sue's trying to get a vid of one of our 10# snakes. Depending on how dedicated the broody is you could quite possibly lose a hand trying to take those eggs. They're gentle pecks (aka I want attention) are not painful at all, but they're leave my eggs alone pecks are quite painful and can draw blood. Remember, I was the guy who had to explain to the city eye doc that yea, my turkey took a chunk out of my eye. Wasn't her fault, but it still happened. btw, the city doc was just beside himself trying not to laugh. He didn't know I already thought it was funny.

How did the turkey take a chunk out of your eye? There has to be a story there.

Yah Bob(Johns) are you still able to see out of that eye? Sounds awful

Speaking of colours, one of my maples is putting on a show.
It is much more vivid than the photo shows though.

I was on my hands and knees cleaning out the hole where the gate pole goes and not paying attention to her. She gently pecked me on the head and I looked up at just the right time for the second peck to land in the white of my eye. No vision problems from it, but it did hurt a lot.

Well, there's your name Shad. Unless you already have one named "Nutter"?

Just beautiful. It must be a wonderful place where you all reside.

The Blue Mountains is a long collection of villages along the Great Western Highway which is surrounded by National Park. Although I live in a regular subdivision on 1/4 acre block I have 3 waterfalls within 20 minutes walk one after another.

Here is my favourite. You can walk around behind the waterfall.
