The Cat and The Currawong
I heard only today about this hysterical, yet quite cunning story, My friend has a really great little cat called Zuki, and she excels in the catching of mice. She is a fairly new rescue cat and has taken a couple of months to settle into this home, but to her credit, she has now become a fully-fledged mouse-catcher.

Our New Neighbors
Our New Neighbors The first part of May, early one morning, as I take my dogs for their walk, I noticed many tiny dots walking around on the muddy banks of a pond I live next to; I thought it to be rather odd that black dots could walk around, so I moved in closer to the pond, and I noticed a couple of mallard ducks have not only moved in but had managed to have eleven ducklings.

4 Common Hummingbird Species
Hummingbirds are native to America and belong to the biological family Trochilidae. There are 360 plus species of hummingbirds are found all over the world. But their vast majority is found in Alaska to Tierra del Fuego and in the tropics. Most of these small birds are measuring 7.5 to 13cm in length. But the smallest hummingbirds are the bee hummingbirds that are only 5cm long with 2g weight. While the largest hummingbirds are the giant hummingbirds that are 23cm in length with 18 to 24g weight. They like to feed the natural nectar from flowers and artificial nectar from the feeders. But in some seasons, they also eat insects and spiders to fulfill their protein needs.

From rescued, then attacked then becoming a cockadoodle dad....
We live in a rural town , on quite a big block (half an acre) ,with a little weatherboard house nestled in the middle. Our yard is full of fruit trees and fences on 3 sides but we have no front fence, so every now and then we get an animal of some sort wander in..

Kiwi
This is my pet peacock Kiwi. He is a very sweet gentle bird. He likes to eat bugs and leaves. He also likes to sleep in my black walnut tree. Every night he flies up into the tree and sleeps. During mating season his tail grows long, up to five feet and he shows it off to the pea hens. I raised this bird from a small little peachick. If you visit a local zoo let's say the Oregon Zoo. They have many peacocks who can be very aggressive, this is due to be pestered by every 3 year old that visits the zoo. Peacocks don't take kindly to harassment.
