For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion... |
 Welcome to my Blog!! Having an opinion is better than not having a thought of your own. I have many of both.... Pull up a pew and grab a hot, steaming mug of your choice. |
| Prompt: Birds *** I've been threatening to make friends with crows for a while now. My husband rolls his eyes and says "Of course you are" whenever I mention the idea, in truth I think he's fine with the idea as long as they stay outside. I've already brought a baby beardie into the house, which he's hasn't quite forgiven me for; Bernie is tolerated and entirely my pet. But birds... they are a no go... I often wind him up about getting chickens, but apparently, we're too suburban for chickens, so they are packed away with my dreams of mini goats and ducks... I may swap the chickens for ducks... we live on a lake so I might be able to disguise them. Crows are smart and calculating. They can hold a grudge and teach their offspring to hold it too. For some reason this amuses me. I also like the idea of getting little presents from them. I am definitely making progress... they hop away from me less; we have very meaningful - one-way conversations; and slightly odd staring competitions where we tilt our heads back and forth at each other. We'll be friends in no time. Part of me would prefer a raven, but I am not an ornithologist and can't really tell them apart, they are both black, feathery and huge... everything in Australia is huge in comparison to its UK counterpart. The only way I'll be able to tell the difference is to blow on its feathers to see if it's down is white (crow) or brown (raven), and in all honesty - we are just not there yet... I will keep you posted. |

. My cat Macavity does a great job of hounding me whenever we have turkey because I always give Pumpkin and him small pieces. But Macavity starts from the time it comes out of the oven, impatient. And I learned the hard way not to leave the turkey unattended because he will help himself.
