Imagine one of these birds is a light olive green colour, with a little red, under the chin.
That's what the baby bird who is sitting outside, looks like. Parent bird is with it, they're almost inseparable.
They're cleaning up the last of breakfast on the table, and the baby bird, in true baby bird form, is making the squeaking noise it makes when it's hungry.
What have I told you about talking to your food? 
Gets up, mid post to go and feed the magpie, and her squawking offspring, taking care as I pass the back door not to startle the pair of galahs that are cleaning up the breakfast remnants that have fallen on the ground, some two feet from the door.
I think it's a bit cold for lizards, today, so I wont see the skink, and I'm not sure what I could offer it.
Like the birds, sometimes it's best just to let them work it out for themselves. 
The magpie doesn't stop, and look through the window. She walks past, then she remembers that there was something "back there", where she came from, so she has to walk back. Then she remembers why she was going where she was going, in the first place, so of course she has to walk past the window, again. She's so subtle.

I was just having a joke- dont cha remember this cape???lol
I do love those Polynesian feathered capes I saw in the Auckland Museum..very very beautiful..one particularly from the kakapo bird..aka the owl parrot..
I'm not particularly thrilled by the rain. It's cold and it's damp and no amount of arguments about how it's good for the garden can make make up for my having to wear thick socks on the 5th of January. It doesn't seem right, somehow.
There are,however, members of the family who think that the rain is the bestest thing ever, and love it, love it, love it.
The Michaels (who resolutely refuse to cooperate when I try to take their photo, so I'm using one I found).
There's life in that pond, beyond the straggly waterlilly that seems virtually indestructible.
Two happy goldfish.
I don't understand them. They spend all day in water, yet when it rains they are the happiest that they could be.
At least someone's enjoying the weather.
The Kakapo is a very large bird too Very pretty feathers
Stephen Fry thought this was very funny
I'm going to have to sit on a folded towel before I look at your spoilers, again. ROFL
