Lorrekeet

We moved house. Straight away bought the Barbie and been using it heavily because it is getting 30C now regularly. The last owners were rather experienced and hence they established the outdoor area just in the perfect location. Sun in the morning and nice and cool during the afternoon.
The garden is a constant parade of the most exotic birds. We've got the big white Cockatoo, that makes the most impressive landings using the plumage on his head as counter balance, the stupid birds that fly against the windows all the time or just fall off the telephone wire (full spec Laurel and Hardy style), the blue with red parakeet-like guy and of course our big friend with red pants, whom we of course nicknamed 'redpants'. This fellar particularly likes the nuts in the bush next to the Barbie. (see piccies)
Luckily enough Annet's bird-fobia is a lot less now, but when 'redpants' suddenly decided to do some exploring and sat on Peter's armrest, well that was just a tad too much still.
