Would that be fair to say?<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on my last post.

The cocky is either tame or sickly, although it's eating really well. It's a 'loner', easily pushed around and goes under the cypress in the dry to sleep.<br /><br />We have a butcher bird at the moment, although different to yours. I'll put a pic in my sidebar.alaine@éclectiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367208674281749257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977933539325461111.post-51466567202677953912009-07-14T13:21:15.738+10:002009-07-14T13:21:15.738+10:00Hi Alaine

It's still hard for me to believe that flocks of parrots fly in the wild where you are when I spend so much energy and worry to keep Kate's birds safely inside. She has just clipped their wings again after letting them grow so that they could fly.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044667449525289901noreply@blogger.com
