Visitors

Well the animals are watered and fed.
It seems pretty important the fish is watered.  If not, I reckon he would be a great break dancer for about 30 seconds.  As it is, he is content if a little unkco today.
We have a pair of crows we regard as “our crows” but after many years they seem a little hesitant to come here.  Some other crows have attempted to muscle in on their territory.  I have spent a bit of time chasing them away.  But it is sort of hard to distinguish between crows.  One is easy.  We call him “big chest” or “long legs.”  He is so assertive.  His partner we could tell as it had a damaged leg.  But it has gotten better and we need a close long look to tell that one.
I have a running battle with Corella’s.  I deliberately dissuade them as they take over.  If comfortable they move everyone else on and eat everything. 
We tend to encourage the smaller birds like Doves and Pee Wees and Little Watle Birds and Lorakeets and Blue Faced onHHoney Eaters and the like.  I call the Pee Wees the psychopaths of the visitors.  They seem really hard to get close to but maybe it is my imagination -  one does seem friendlier than it did.
As has been shared before our place does seem a fairly safe haven for birds, animals and insects.  We do not keep cats or dogs and limit our spray of poisons to pathways.  Even the unwelcome visit of a cat seems to have stopped.  I am glad animals get the hint.
I love cats and dogs but particularly cats (who are great hunters) decimate native wildlife.
Anyway we get a few welcome visitors.  The birds are fly in, fly out and there is nothing threatening in the yard.  Except me for unwelcome visitors.
