Malak, your bird stamps are very lovely, thank you for sharing them.

Malak,
I have a huge tree in my back garden that is about
70 feet tall, every evening a couple of hundred
cockatoo's come home to roost, with a cacophany of sound
screeching and complaining, until they get their
branch of choice.
I never tire of watching the spectacle.

This week a huge carpet Python (snake) made short
work of Green Parrot (we call a "28") on a neighbors house .

The huge snakes are harmless and live in sheds
in the country and control mice and rats.

You live in dangerous surroundings, Rod...
