Grouie, please keep posting your animal photos--they are fascinating, and so different from what we have around here. Here's a photo of our "next door neighbors":

This is Reba, the longhorn, and her calf Dilemma. Dilemma won't get her horns for a few years yet. Reba has a pretty good spread though. The steer in the background is a shorthorn and is in a different pasture (the separating fence doesn't show).
Your "next door neighbours" could have trouble popping in for a neighborly "cuppa"!!o_O:ROFLMAO: My sister breeds Scottish Highland Cattle and they are magnificent too with their massive horns. My sister had a video of her chiwhauw [how do you spell that...I know "extremely small dog"] playing under the cattles' feet. Apparently he loved their hot breath on him and they didn't trample him....unbelievable really :eek::confused:

Those horns are intimidating!

Known as Greatercoucal,India this bird always is seen in the garden whenever there is a snake around. I therefore get the jitters when I see it.

She is fascinating...she seems bilingual, even speaking "cat". And what a beautiful tail. Thanks Grouie

Had these two beautiful King Parrots visiting. They actually do ask to be fed. I put the seed out on the railing only when they come as otherwise the cockatoos come and as much as I like them, they can be quite destructive.

Here is Mr. And Mrs. King Parrot.....note Mr. K.P is stunning!!!!
Along came Mr.K.P no: 2 and chases Mrs KP away. Mr KP No1 became very protective and said " Don't be treatIng my lady like that". There was noisy confrontation. I got up to put more seed out so enough for all but they flew off. You can just make them out in the trees where they often sit.

I hoped they'd return but Pearl heard the kerfuffle and look......

The images of parrots are not opening and yes Pearl also needs to welcome them. Right? (lol)

I really need to get another good camera! All I have currently is the rather crappy one on my phone. Nothing as exotic as monkeys or parrots here (although I suppose "exotic" is a relative term) but I have a small variety of bird feeders out front, and currently see...five different types. Pair of cardinals, sparrows, blue jay, flicker, starlings....oh and a nuthatch. Oh,and there's the mourning doves. I have a list of over 30 species that have visited my feeders so far.
