Dimpy Trancing on the Roof

The birds love having a few short naps during the day.  We call them 'trancing' because they look like they have gone into a trance.  In this slideshow we catch Dimpy the pied-butcherbird go off into a trance with Renuthri his Noisy-miner friend and other noisy-miner cousins keeping watch around him.

True Friends - Maggie and Minnie

Good old friends Maggie and Minnie have shared many adventures from the beginning.  Maggie always left some food for Minnie and Minnie would always fetch Maggie.  A true friend to the end, Minnie sat on the cage, encouraging Maggie to enter and let us help him, when he fell sick in his last days.

The pictures below are from the days of prolonged drought and show Maggie, Kerry (butcherbird) and Minnie walking, drinking and sharing their lives together.
