My new friend
This is my new friend - a magpie (I think a juvenile) who just won't go away!! He or she arrived a week or so ago and the other day I made the mistake of feeding him/her my dinner. I was going to cook the Scotch Fillet steak but instead I cut it up and fed it to him, as well as several of his 'friends' or 'relatives'.
Soon after a small battalion of magpies arrived and so the next day I went to Coles Supermarket at Cherrybrook to buy more steak for them. That went quickly. But it is this guy that seems to return to my balcony relentlessly. These magpies are certainly not vegetarians!
And now every time I look outside onto the balcony - this is what I see!! He/she sings happily for hours. The magpie singing, though, is quite melodious. However, he/she gets very close and moments ago was perched on the barbecue, and then on top of the stand with the orchids, looking at me here on the laptop. Nearly inside the lounge room. It is ridiculous.
The only good thing is that the magpie singing drowns out, to some extent, the racket from the kookaburras. The kookaburras around here are super noisy. They are almost permanently laughing at something. Possibly me - lol.
