Their feathers must be so beautiful. Do you save them all ecar?

I keep as many as I can.
There's a cat that drops by that very obligingly keeps me in pigeon feathers, ha ha.
I get lot of feathers from the cockatoos, mostly the bigger wing feathers, but every so often I'll get a crest feather, too.
The galahs are probably the worst offenders when it comes to dropping feathers, then burying them, ha ha.
I keep finding bedraggled pink feathers that have been turned over during the latest round of "Let's shift the garden six inches that way!!", ha ha.

Yes, as in the photo. 🙂
Only generally half a dozen at a time... ha ha.
Today's schedule - Eat... be noisy... be noisy... eat some more... get into a noisy argument with a cockatoo, probably about food, ha ha.
They love it here, ha ha.
One of them came for six days, it was dying and it figured that here was a good a place as any.
So it stayed around.
It was a funny little thing - it decided, one evening, half way through meal time that it was now bed time, so it went across the table, up the ramp, into the tree and settled in for the night.
Which included singing itself a lullaby - "cheep, cheep"... ha ha.
It was a very engaging little bird, hopping around happily, and it squealed with delight when I produced some pieces of raisin toast.
"Give me the raisins!!... and the bread's good, too", ha ha.
It had a wonderful time while it was here, working out where the bridges could take it - all the way to the other end of the pergola, as it turned out, which is where things came to a close.
It rained in the early evening, and was cooler, and the little bird sheltered in the doorway of the possum house.
Somewhere comfortable, somewhere dry, and, in the end, a very good place to close it's eyes, and go to sleep...

I get Rainbow Lorikeets by the score here. They come for next door's apple trees.
Might as well.....he doesn't pick them.
They make such a racket with their screeching.

Well, it's a good thing you've got the pretty little birds to distract you from them, hardy har, har...
