Default Had a friend drop in for coffee and biscuits

He had the biscuits, I had the coffee.

He came in through my bedroom door upstairs, so I had to carry the lazy
bugger downstairs

Not a very neat snacker is he? You could have had a cookie with him though.
Or perhaps a bowl of grapes.

You did have a gorgeous snack mate.

They never seem to be :-)

Funny watching him reach with his foot for the biscuit I was holding out
to him, grabbing it and hooking in :-)

:-) I was snacking on the other half of the Vita-wheat

There were 8 of them all up, all perched over the roof guttering and on
the railings upstairs. But he was the only one that allowed me to
approach and feed him. I opened the sliding door in the bedroom and he
just jumped off the railing and walked on in like he owned the place!!
So i just put my hand down to him and he climbed on up. Then I took him
downstairs to the kitchen. Walking through the house, it looked like he
was casing the place...... he was checking *everything* out!

Damn place is going to look like an avairy soon!! Along with the
Cockatoos that will no doubt put me on their 'food' list, I've also got
a bunch of 8-10 Kookaburras, 2 resident Magpies that get jealous
whenever I feed any other birds, 4 Butcher birds, and some jet-black
swallow tailed things that act like they're hyper, and keep divebombing
everyone!!

You hit the nail on the head.


He's the only one who said "Hallo" :-)

And the cracker is....... he came and spent 2 days with me about 2 years
ago...... when I lived in a different house a long way away!!
