the menagerie




lately our resident family of butcher birds have been joined by an increasing number of kookaburras (we've had two hanging around for a while but suddenly there are two more), and sometimes they all come calling together asking for food. it's just beautiful to walk out onto the verandah and see a tree full of birds - especially the gorgeous voluptuousness of a collection of kookaburras. and their songs once appetites have been satisfied are so joyful they always make me and my heart smile...

  2. i know! it's the butcher bird songs (especially the baby ones) that i really love the most. surprisingly, with those numbers, the kookaburras don't 'go off' that often.
