Ive already said how much I like living in the country, I really do love it.
But one of the good things about the country is the birds. I love to see birds around.
There’s really a stunning number of birds out here, so many you can’t believe it. Maybe it’s because there’s so many trees in the country. The birds live in the trees and pick off the pods from the leaves and eat them all, you can see them doing it all day. They pick them off with their claws and hold them to eat.
Although I do like birds they do make a mess of my trees which is a shame. When they break off a small branch to eat the pods they drop it on the ground and it looks like a battlefield under my trees, bits of branch everywhere. Just mess everywhere.
They have wonderful. They’re parrots and all parrots have stunning colors I think. And they like to sit on the window sills and verandah posts around my house and look in at me, and I find that if I sit really still then they don’t fly away, they just sit there, and that’s such a treat. I love having them around and Iv’e got one sitting there now.
There’s damage to the trees like I said but it’s still great having them around and I love it. I could frighten them away when they start damaging the trees and then I wouldn’t have the damage but I’d rather let them come and sit on my veranda. If I send them away they might leave for good.
Its got to be so much better out here. Ill bet there’s no birds like that in the city. Too many people to scare them off and no trees for them to come along to eat from.
And it’s not just birds, there’s so many animals, and as I love animals I’m happy. I’m surrounded by animals and birds too. And cows.
I think it’s really good for you having animals and birds around. It’s nature and nature is important. It’s like life for everything else around us.
So give me the birds and animals around me and I love being around nature. Ah, now I’ve just had one of those parrots perch on the veranda right in front of me right now.
Ahh, give me the country life, you won’t get me going back to live in the city. Who needs it?
