Golden Wattle Stories, Dreams, and Poems

I went and opened the curtains today and saw to my surprise, a butchet bird which I think was a young one, perched on the end of a perch sticking out of the cockatiels cage. So they were right up against the cockatiel cage. And they were just watching the cockatiels and maybe trying to make friends with them and I even saw them play with some of the cockatiels toys that were at the edge of the cage with their beak. They also sat there and preened themself. It was such a sweet and precious sight. 

On my holiday at the Gold Coast, a butcher bird must have spotted me through the window and flew onto the balcony. Soon enough a whole family of butcher birds came over including 3 young ones. I fed the butcher birds a little treat and noticed the baby butcher birds were very curious. So I held out my hand with treats for the babies and they kept coming close. Eventually one of them came up and pecked my finger gently! I thought it was so sweet how gentle he was.  Eventually the butcher birds flew off but a couple came back later including a baby which actually did some singing for me. And as I can whistle bird song, we sang along together. It was so beautiful and precious. What a sweet family, that I'll always love, even if I never see them again.
