Noisy Birds

A pair of colourful parrots.

When you first arrive in Australia from Northern Europe, it’s definitely the sounds of the birds that strikes you early on. It certainly reminded me that I was far from home.

What sounds so normal and unremarkable to Aussies, really is so entirely different and exotic to a new arrival.

Aussie birds are noisy – fractious even – and those dramatic sounds are also mirrored by the lurid variety of colours and shapes they exhibit.

Mr Pip

Mr Pip was a much-loved pal and family member, sadly taken far too young.

Always loved and forever remembered, his antics still make me smile to this day. He was a pup of great expectations and even greater character. We are so grateful to have known him and so sorry he is gone.

N.B. Mr Pip became something of a celebrity in his day and operated a very popular Twitter feed (not easy when you have no thumbs).  His Vines were particularly popular and accrued a total viewing count of over 3 million views!
