Another sit in .
|
As if the tension of the election campaign is not enough, our resident consenting adult Curlews have produced another egg . In the process they chased away from the backyard the two chicks which survived from the previous sitting . These two hungry chicks now occupy the front garden , upset at being driven out into the cruel cold world by their parents who want to be alone .
While watching an afternoon news bulletin item about the strange late election launch by PM Malcolm Turnbull in which he praised the Mad Monk , shrieking Cockatoos were heard , a reflection caught in the louvres of the birds in the PASSIONFRUIT VINE !, covered up with netting . Those *!!!#* Cockies were munching the passion fruit .
Action stations . As we rushed out , raiding Cockies , one holding a large, unripened passionfruit in its beak , rose in a white, noisy cloud . As the damaged fruit was inspected on the vine and on the ground , the netting rearranged to include a neighbour's vine, the Cockatoos circled , dive bombed, shrieked. One graduate from Circus Oz hung upside down .

A fruity and passionate handshake in Coalition pawpaw patch, resulting in the spitting out of many sour pips / pipsqueaks .
STOP PRESS BREAKING NEWS ?  Why have the Curlews stopped sitting on the nicely marked egg ?...Now there are two eggs .  |
