Breakfast in flight
« on: December 28, 2016, 20:34:30 »
So this morning we were sitting on my wooden deck - watching the traffic go by.
Some migrated to the lawn as you can see
(I have a bird highway right in front of my house)

What's for Din Din in photo No.1?

Dave who is once again bird sitting a very silly cockatoo.

I thought the bird in photo No.1 was using air brakes. I'm always analysing what I see which drives some people crazy.

Nice pair, Elsa. The second makes much more sense in combination with the first, which is awesome.
