Birds, Birds, Birds!

 I have decided that Ziggy the Macaw might be the closest thing I get to a grandchild for many years to come! He is very tame, you can turn him over and lie him on his back. Here I was cradling him like a baby and holding onto his claw, he just loves the attention. Beau decided to have a look as well, he normally keeps well clear of Ziggy. Ziggy is like a little toddler, needs to be closely supervised while out of his cage and given toys to play with. He can crack a walnut in a few seconds now and that keeps him occupied for about 10 minutes eating it.

 Each day Bill puts out the old bird seed from our birds cages onto a tray out in the yard and we get lots of galahs, sulphur crested cockatoos and the occasional Rosella in to check out the seed. These are some young galahs- they continually squawk at their parents to feed them- the poor parents. It is lovely to watch the collection of birds that come through our yard.
