There is a bird in our suburb who likes me, twice it's landed on me in 2 different streets, I'm sure it's the same bird too lol

It happened to my daughter one day too, and from the description she gave me, it sounded like the same bird. Not quite sure what it is, a black and white one, but not a magpie, they're so big it'd frighten the daylights out of me if one landed on me

Your suburb might have a mad bird lady like me 😄 I wonder if my pet wild birds also land on other people...I hope not...some people don't like birds and they might hurt them with traps n things.

Haha I just remembered fluffy, my pet wild raven. I could call out FLUFFYYYYYY and he'd come swooping down. He'd follow me to work and sit up in the trees. Kids used to call out fluffy too haha. He was cute....grumpy neighbour asked that I stop encouraging him because fluffy was eating his chook eggs....and his chooks 😄

He was a pretty scary bird...like a big crow, with beady white eyes and a huge carrion eating beak. Awwww fluffy XXX

Will you be hostess at the parties, Deb? You will definitely need to buy a new dress for that. And shoes too lol

JMK you are very brave. I refuse to take my wayward charges anywhere. Once I took about 16 on a day trip to the city.

Lost a couple on arrival.

A few more at smoko.

A few more just disappearred.

 

I managed to bring 2 back with me.

 

The powers that be often suggest we take them on a camp. And I'm like, really? Who is going to do the body cavity searches for the illicit substances?

Buzz I once took 90 15 - 25 yr olds to the city for a week and they had never been to the city before...OMG...loads of fun, but so stressful! I had a lot of helpers of course, but I did all the organising, agh!

The camping trips with the "youth at risk" were the most fun.

You could take them wayyyy out bush, Buzz...away from pubs, drugs and spray cans lol

I would not take anything or anyone to the bush camping......I would not take myself to the bush camping.

I take baked beans because I hate them, and that motivates me to catch fish lol

I love camping, but I'm getting too old now.

I quite like baked beans but my Dr said they are full of salt and I should not eat them 😞

 

I am off to bed. Good night everyone
