I moved to a warmer (if not more exotic) climate - from Michigan to North Carolina. It is only the beginning of June and it reached 91 yesterday. Today is a cool 83. ha Just love your blog I will enjoy going through your two years - you live in SUCH a different place than the United States - amazing photos of the plants and animals.

Matt sounds like he enjoyed his birthday wishes from everyone. You know, I asked Jeff the same question on Sunday - where can we get a bird bath? I put out a little stainless steel water bowl for the cockies to drink from (now that it's dry season), and it's emptied in no time. Birdbath hunting season now open! Cheers Cindy Hi Mandy,

I think it was Attenborough, wasn't it? Those naughty birds were even rolling rocks onto people under slopes at the ski resort. Very, very smart. Sunbirds are tiny. Being nectar drinkers, I don't think they have a lot of strength in their beaks. The only damage is the trail of runny droppings where it sits all day talking to itself. It really is an OCD bird. Now that we are on the East coast, NZ looks very inviting.... Cheers Cindy Diane, I saw that show on the Keas! I think it was Attenborough, wasn’t it?

The above sunbird shots are a mix of old "point & shoot" camera and the SLR. I bet you can tell which is which. If you do go for a SLR, go for the Canon, I had to return my Nikon after a few days. When does the bloke get back? Hey Tazar, I got my SLR for a birthday pressie, and even though we couldn’t eat for 6 weeks afterwards, it was worth it!

You are lucky the bird doesn't eat the rubber from the windows. There is a bird in NZ, I think it's called a Kea, it eats everything off the car when you leave your car in a car park and go for a walk you can return to find, rubber, door trims, aerials and even rear vision mirrors chewed off.

Can you believe it? So many other pressing bills at the moment I just can't justify it. Both our birthdays come in June but we are always broke at that time and defer prezzies until October, a time when $$ materialises. Lovely sunbird, we don't have them here, I don't think. I am a devoted puppy mum, but although Oscar the Wonder Dog loves water and swimming, he absolutely hates being hosed, off so the end of the swimming day is always a bit of a struggle.
