I didn't need to teach the cockatoos to count to three.

"Here's the box with the food in it, you can take three bites, and then I want to move on".

No worries, bite, bite, bite, lift head away from box.

Okay, you can take the box away, now.

All too often "bite" isn't just grab a beakful, so much as graze...

"But I took three bites... thereabouts", ha ha.

In pale first light of dawn there was a large, lanky grey-black bird on the table.

No, for a change, not a currawong.

Somebody's been watching Dad come down here, then come back with food, and they've made the connection for themselves, ha ha.

 

 

I don't know if mentioned the rainbow lorikeet with the broken foot.

When I first saw it, it couldn't support any weight on one side, so it was dragging itself around the table with one foot and both wings.

And still managing to give cheek to the cockatoos, ha ha.

It was back, today, after a couple of days, and the foot's no better, but it's worked out how to keep itself upright, and it's getting around quite well.

And still giving cheek to the cockatoos.

At one point it looked like one of the cockatoos might get the upper hand in their little exchange, and push it off the table, but rainbow lorikeet solidarity runs deep, and the poor cockatoo found itself facing three of four other lorikeets, all standing up for their mate, very noisily.

It's noble of them to come to the rescue, but they could've warned me that I'd need earplugs, ha ha.

 

 

Without giving it too much thought, I've put a bit of seed on one of the bridges.

Right at the junction where a ramp comes down from the roof.

Along comes Nuts, and living up to his reputation, clings to the skinny little ramp, head down, at a 45 degree angle, and eats the seed.

Wouldn't it be easier to get off the ramp, onto the bridge, and eat that way?

Didn't you answer your question a couple of sentences back? I've got a reputation to live up to, he says, ha ha.

I'll give him that much, he's always entertaining.

Musing, on the idea of "The next life", it occurred to me that things are not always as you might imagine.

Let's say, for instance, you have a fascination with whales, cetaceae in general.

You think to yourself that in the next life, should there be one, you'd love to be a marine biologist, studying them, learning their ways, their behaviours, their whalesong, which you love so much.

Life, as I say is not always as you imagine.

Perhaps, in that next life, you won't be a scientist, on a boat, dangling a microphone into the water, perhaps you'll be a whale, and what better way to study whales could there be?

It's a musing, perhaps an amusing musing, ha ha.

Don't discount your dreams.

Perhaps they're nothing more than dreams, perhaps they are a whisper of a future history yet to be written.

 

 

I walked out the back this morning and a large, grumpy, hungry crow didn't land on my head and start cawing at me, insistently.

Anything can happen, and if it doesn't happen, well, that can often be just as good a thing as if it did.

It's the same with dreams, if it doesn't happen, if they don't come to fruition, is the world a worse place for that?

And if it does happen, what a wonderful thing it is.

As long as it doesn't involve a large crow standing on your head and demanding to be fed, ha ha.

Hold onto your dreams, believe in them, they add meaning to life.

 

If your dream does involve a crow landing on your head, I've got one here that you can borrow, and he's very good at being grumpy, and insistent, especially in the morning, and by morning I mean any time between dawn and dusk midday, ha ha.

 

 

Crow antics aside, if you dream of one day swimming with the whales, don't be afraid of doing just that.

Because anything is possible.
