bird friends
A pair of spotted turtle doves have become regular visitors to the backyard. They usually perch on the back fence, but sometimes they come for a stroll on the garden beds looking for seeds - but possibly also some plants... I'm trying to like them more.
In the front yard, there's a pair of magpies that come looking for a feed. I learnt that magpies recognise human faces, so maybe that's why these two don't flinch one bit when I walk by. One was so comfortable that it just took a dump right in front of me.
