    Default Sometimes 1 bullet just isn’t enough

    I just wish they could stop showing up at dinner time so the girls could concentrate on their food.

    I thought the only birds that could survive the Sydney air polution were pidgeons:confused:
    They are pretty.

    Our's woke me up this morning looking for their breakfast. The kids love them. I don't mind them either.

    If you keep encouraging them with food they'll just keep coming.

    They're better looking than Indian Mynas

    Do these taste any good?

    This bloke and his missus visited us about dinner time Christmas day, not the sort of seagull I'm used to!

    We used to feed the Rosella's on the old deck but it meant the we had parrot crap everywhere, so I wasn't happy letting them do it to the new Merbau one.

    I have a feeder in the garden outside the meals area window, (down the drive from the gardiner's cottage and opposite the maid's bedroom ).

    The photo is taken through the fly screen so it's not great.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    King Parrot? Dunno, don't have any recipes for them, but the local emerald (amethyst?) pigeons are meant to be pretty good, but you might have had some of them when you were a kid.

    After Al left this evening, I was feeding one of the female King Parrots - no droppings on our decking.
