Some beauty and some trick questions.
First up is the African Hoopoe that took a stroll ahead of us.
I have a few wild birds in here to show you their beauty and I also have a few trick questions to see how you can inspect pictures for differences.
Maybe I must send my photos to an eye specialist for use on his patients to determine if their eye sight is still good:)
So come, let's test your eyes!
This beauty is an African Hoopoe (Upupa africana).
Here is your first trick question. This is a Cape Sugarbird and he also appears in the next photo.
I want to know what the differences are between the two photos of the sugarbird.
Cape Sugarbird "Promerops cafer".
This is obviously a bathing bird and her name is Chi-chi.
Look at her beauty after she had a bath.
She is a Speckled pigeon (Columba guinea).
Now keep an eye on the following three photos.
Robbie the guy was watching his wife bathing.
They are Cape Robin-chats (Cossypha caffra).
After the bath it was, of course, dinner time and Marian put their dried worms out.
It was a community dinner time and the robin didn't mind the squirrel also having dinner.
Finally, my last question. See if you can see the robin here.
Okay, I have tried to show you some beautiful birds here, and we are blessed to see them almost daily. In fact, we see Chi-chi and the robins everyday because they live here.
Some bad news is that we might have to stop feeding the birds and the squirrels as a new by-law forbids this.
The by-law will be effective from June 2022 and we will see if we can apply for a permit because we don't feed them in "common property" of the complex, but in our garden.
Understandably, Marian and I are taking this hard but we will see what we can do as we love our wild animals and birds.
Such is life with all of its struggles.
And That's All Friends!
