Musings...

So... as one ages, does one get dumber or does one get wiser and just truly begin to realize how much one really doesn't know? Put another way, am I losing smarts or gaining self knowledge? Hmmmm.

We had four Kookaburras outside our balcony yesterday. They are funny birds. They usually don't find Tim or I very interesting since we are fish eating vegetarians, but someone suggested dog mince to me - and well, they like us more now. When it comes to food, these birds know no fear. One Kookie (as they are endearingly called here) flew right up to me to grab the mince. This is what they sound like. And here's a photo I got the other day:

















It's not a great photo, but it was overcast.

Here's a photo of a Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo. He was just a foot away from me.... speaking of fearless!



When these birds arrive I do battle with them to scare them away. They are known to destroy timber homes if you stop feeding them. They are beautiful though.
