Very Proud!

We're very proud of this young Kookaburra, he's been visiting a few times each day and just sits quietly on the BBQ by the sliding door hoping we'll throw him a scrap or two but if we don't he doesn't hassle us like those cheeky Lorikeets do! Yesterday our little Kooka caught a small mouse and had the decency to fly away with it and eat it somewhere else!
We've been concerned that we might be spoiling him and he would never develop his hunting skills but his hunting skills are doing just fine thankyou... especially when Gwillo was turning over the soil in one of the garden beds... not so many worms in there anymore! It's a funny sight if he lands on the handle of the BBQ because it turns and he looks like one of those people on a rolling ball or something... he even lets me pat him sometimes and his feathers are oh so silky.
