Sunday Selections # 584

 Long ago, Kim of Frog ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

And we don't mind at all if overseas bloggers care to join us.

The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to them and have a look.

remember the toast I put out for the sulphur crested cockatoos? It remained untouched and I eventually threw it out into the larger garden area.

the first bird who took a piece kept nibbling on it while his friends seemed more interested in the water dish

this one hopped up onto the edge, but down again when he noticed me

here he is showing off his crest

and turning away from the water

cocky number four arrives

and appears to be eyeing off the water dish

after they flew off, I went out to the local supermarket and bought a big bag of wild bird mix

the next morning, I put out a nice wide tray of the mixed seeds

but was disappointed when the birds remained in the white willow tree

look at that lovely wing spread, I had forgotten there was yellow under the wings. I brought the seed back inside when it began to rain and I haven't seen the cockatoos since then.

for Val, here is my $5.99 Coca-Cola mirror, bought within a week of moving back to Adelaide in 1986, still in perfect condition in spite of moving house nine times. I see these now in secondhand stores, some have frames loose at the corners, some have rusty frames, some have mottled glass, some have cracked glass. All of them are priced way higher than what I paid 36 years ago.
