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. 

I was in my bedroom listening to music when I heard some tapping on my window! I peered out the blinds and saw 2 baby butcher birds on the window ledge! Looks like these little angels wanted to visit me or maybe even were telling me to open the blinds to "take care of me". So I followed their suggestion to open the blinds and have a view of the trees outside as they recommended. What sweet little angels. 

I was in the lounge room when a baby butcher bird landed on the window ledge outside. The curtain was mostly closed but he was trying to peer in underneath. My message from him was that he was telling me to open the blind which I did. I felt like the baby butcher bird was trying to take care of me which he did by making me feel better with a view of the garden. A few minutes later his mum fiona flew onto the chair outside to visit me and say hello. And then awhile later the baby butcher bird came back onto the window ledge. Then flew onto the fence.  I felt like he was asking me to come outside. So I did. And lay down on the outdoor lounge. A minute later a butcher bird sang to me through the bushes. It sounded so loving. I feel so loved and taken care of by the butcher birds today! 

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. 

The butcher birds at my new home Franky and Fiona visited me today with their 2 or 3 babies. I got a treat for them and Fiona ate right out of my hand which was amazing. 🩷

Well I moved house, and within the first few days of moving in, I made friends with a butcher bird that visited me! He flew onto the cockatiel cage and saw me and my mum through the window as I chatted to him. I called him Franky.  And today, I went for a walk around the neighbourhood and to the park down the street. A couple of butcher birds recognised me and flew around me and called to me. Franky, I believe, just sat on top of the water fountain as I sat nearby, just keeping me company for awhile.  The butcher birds also kept flying onto the park name sign.  The message I got from them was that they were communicating that this was their home and territory, and that they were very proud of their home and protective of their home and territory. Today I felt so much love between me and these new butcher birds. 

I was sitting outside and a female butcher visited me, coming to close to me on the deck railing. And had her baby nearby begging for food. She just spent a little time with me and looking for me. She called loudly to me when she first saw me. 

Went on a walk at North lakes environmental park today and Heard a couple butcher birds call and carry on loudly close to me after I had heard them and whistled to them and then when me and my mum sat down in the park another butcher bird flew onto the fence near us to say hi! And then I saw Benji the butcher bird next to the car when I got home 🐦

Benji the butcher bird a grey butcher bird quickly visited me today on the deck railing as I was outside 💕

Today at a lake me & my friend Sarah saw 2 friendly butcher birds that kept hanging out near us. I did some duet bird call singing with one of them. (as I'm good at whistling bird song) A beautiful light blue dragonfly also landed on Sarah!!! As well as flying around us a few times. A butcher bird I called Samson even came and sat right next to us & caught a bug to eat. Samson once flew past me flying so close to me just to be fun. When we left Samson landed next to the car in a tree to say goodbye as I waved to him! We didn't even  feed them they were just friendly.  When we first arrived for our picnic I didn't know what the birds were hidden in the tree next to us were at first. It was just beautiful bird calls and I whistled along copying them as I just love communicating with birds. But butcher birds are so intelligent and clever they might have been hiding from me at first just trying to trick me and they have shown me they can mimic other birds.  Today I al...
