I've had to make a start on some more croco-pegs, I gave the last one away yesterday.
Big smiles?
Their face lit up as though they were having every birthday they'd ever had, all at the same time.
People are funny. Give them a clothes peg that's been whittled a bit and they can't stop smiling, ha ha.
🙂
One of the girl birds turned up with her baby and husbird in tow.
She's a long time regular, she's knows she'll be spoilt when she comes here. 🙂
She's usually pretty shy, but this morning she nearly fell over her own feet in her rush to get to me, no, not me, the food, I'm not that silly, ha ha.
There's a bird, I'm not sure if he's young or old, he's a bit scruffy looking and has an overgrown beak. He picked up fairly quickly on the idea that he can get extra food if he does his impression of Napoleon's army in retreat from Moscow - poor bedraggled half starved me... Cheeky thing, ha ha.
They all have their particular methods. There's one who likes to take my beanie off, if he's not in another vantage point, tugging at my sleeves, or on the ground, vigorously trying to pull my tracksuit pants down. He's one to watch, especially in the Summer, because he conveniently forgets that there's a difference between bare skin and clothing, and can sometimes none too gently grab a hold. "Oh, you mean that wasn't shirt? I got your attention, though...". Wicked little bird.
I've been trying to teach Donny a new joke - What do you call an alligator who wears a vest when it's working? An investigator.
She's very deliberately not seeing the funny in that, ha ha.
Talk about great minds thinking alike...
I was Googling the croco-pegs a couple of days ago and found this and put a copy of it in the "Looks interesting, I should get back to that" folder.
I had thought about using food colouring - a decent few drops in a glass of water and leave the crocodile/s to soak, overnight.
Paint is a good option, I don't know about the goggle eyes, though, ha ha.
🙂
Goggle eyes .... 
Maybe some tiny pebbles?
Another beautiful day in Tasmania today, and having this as a 'holiday' week is really giving me time to do all sorts of things that otherwise would be left in the lurch.
The quilters will be here tomorrow and they are threatening to bring pancakes with all kinds of berries so it will be my job to supply gallons of maple syrup (the real stuff of course) ... we will get a lot of Christmas quilting done but it always ends up as a banquet as well, happy chaos ... 
Roll on Christmas!!!
Hey Stawks, I think I'll try to make a santa claus pancake ...
