TALKING TO THE BIRDS

 

Interesting discussions are  being held  with this  young  Coucal  which flutters in and out of Little Darwin's  backyard.  It   heartily   responds below  to our  imitation Coucal calls -Woop!Woop! 


 We have repeatedly told  an Ibis, which upsets  our resident Curlews , to buzz off . It had the cheek to find a grub  with its  deep probing  beak  and then wash it in the  Curlews' drinking and  bathing  water , which annoyed   them . 

Barking like a dog , clapping hands and brandishing   a broom made a  Currawong which was upsetting the Curlews with  two young ones  fly away, the  water pistol filled  and ready  for action should it return .
