Mum and Dad galah are down on the ground where they Told me to put Their food... ha ha.
Baby galah's still up in the tree, yelling at everybody...
Slowly it sank in that nobody was listening, so down he came to the bird bath and had a Big drink...
"It's a hot day... I'm having a Big drink...", he told me, standing all of two feet away from him...
A week ago if he'd seen me he would've stayed up in the tree... I'm a timid little bird, I'm not coming down because you're frightening....
About three days back the three baby galahs were down on the ground when they caught sight of me...
The usual thing with birds is that they fly up into the lower branches of the tree and then hurl abuse at me until I go away, ha ha.
Not this time... they were a welcoming committee, intent on making me feel welcome, ha ha.
"It's Him! It's Him! It's Him! It's Him!...", they shouted as they charged towards me...
With adult galahs it's straightforward... if they come charging towards me and are obviously happy to see me, all I have to do is stand there, because they'll stop at a safe distance...
But I wasn't so sure, with the babies... ha ha.
It's a good thing, though, that they stopped at a relatively safe distance... I'm not really sure that I'd know what to do if I found my ankles being cuddled by baby birds, ha ha.

The only Zooper Dooper ice block sticks I could find at the supermarket were packs of Blackberry (I think that's it) and get this... Fairy floss flavour...
Erk... ha ha...
I can see I'll have to get to the supermarket late in the day, after the shelf stackers have gone through, but before the other customers can get there, if I'm going to have any success... ha ha.
In the meantime, I can see that I shall have to find ways to occupy my idle moments, ha ha...

(Seat covers should not be installed if you have side air bags) ... Why is that Stawks? Not that I have seat "covers" as such but I do have seat cushions that cover the back of and the actual seat.
Greetings to all here ... looks like everyone is melting somewhat?
It's been relatively cool here in comparison, but about to heat up a little tomorrow and over the weekend if the forecast is correct. Won't be dragging the cat out for walkies any time soon!
It's been snorkellingly quiet since Christmas day (thankfully) but I have this feeling it's about to change.
The "gannets" are threatening to visit as a flock to start a line of barbeques .. ... not that we're complaining mind you, we haven't seen them since the first week in December so they are determined to make up for that ...
... I suspect all 30 or so will come fully armed with iced cookies and Australian cake like edibles!
Hope everyone is able to keep as cool as possible .. beware of sunburn and heat stroke, lots of slip-slop-slap applications ...

It was a full quarter of a possum sticking out of the house doorway hot day today...
One of the ways she beats the heat is licking her feet, and today, her legs too, to keep cool...
If you look closely in the red circle, you can see two little front paw claws, too, ha ha.
It was Really hot... ha ha.
We're looking at another day of this and then hopefully some rain will come over the weekend and the garden, if no one else, will be glad to see it, ha ha.
