Chook

[Dedman]

Finally got some pics of my assistant . I've named her Chook as she clucks around like one. She has chicks atm and gets quite insistent about being fed. She follows me around like a dog, even inside the house.
Wotcha doin? Got any food?


I said "HAVE YOU GOT ANY FOOD!?


"I bet I sound better than this thing"

Cool, what kind of bird is she?, is she a Magpie?, she looks a bit like one.

[Dedman]

yup. She's a resident, her and her mate rule the yard.

I'm surprised at how friendly she is, normally Magpies don't come that close to humans, although they have been known to dive-bomb them.


We used to get a whole flock of different coloured Finches in my dad's backyard where he had his workshop in Kununurra, he used to put a big plate of birdseed out for them, we even used to get a few Tata Lizards that would go for a swim in the birds water trough and then sun themselves on some concrete slabs.
