It’s Willow Wednesday again. This cheeky gal loves to go down the road on a Saturday morning and feed the local wildlife. Here’s she’s got a friendly Crimson Rosella perched on her hat ready to eat out of her hands.

About five mins from the house is a picnic ground where the local bird life are accustomed to getting a free feed. Both of my gals love going early on Saturday morning to feed the crimson rosellas, cockatoos, galahs, corellas and king parrots. Unfortunately this picnic ground has become a favorite of tour buses and the birds are beginning to suffer from too much fat in their diet. We’ll need to curtail our contribution to their bad diet.

Tomorrow I promise I’ll take you and my girls a bit further down the road and find that herd of kangaroo.

This is Juniper’s best friend. His name is Jazzy and he screeches like mad until he’s let out of the cage to play with the family. He’s been her pet for the past four years. Damn thing has cost me almost $1000 in vet costs recently but … hey … what can you do?

So, now that school is almost out, she can focus on spending more time with Jazzy!
