I Like Birds https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=32J5jCP1z9A

Edit: The other day I saw a bird I couldn’t quite place (I don’t know all the names). It might have been a honeyeater/wattlebird but I couldn’t tell at that distance. I hope the magpies don’t drive all the other natives away.

There used to be a tawny frogmouth that would come sit on my fence hooting. Probably attracted by the mice that would be hiding in my long grass. I haven’t seen that bird in years. Maybe it ate a poisoned mouse or someone screwed with its habitat
