Yes @Appleblossom the tlc voiced by the Gaultieres is comforting, it's something I hadn't experienced.
Hope you're doing better with exercises than me @Chasingsunsets , but I'm trying to get back on track.
My sticky everlasting is going to flower. Should attract butterflies. I'd like to get more indigenous plants.

Oh I need to google that flower @Dimity not sure I’ve heard of it but I may have seen it ☺️. Attracting butterflies would be cool! We had a massive influx of butterflies I am going to say a couple of months ago but may have even been last year whoops lost track of my timeline 🙈. Nah can’t say exercises are happening 🤪. I missed a post somewhere as you asked about doves or pigeons I think lol the thought just flew into my brain lol. Pic attached of a cool pigeon I saw a few months back 😊 @Appleblossom

Looks a very stylish pigeon @Chasingsunsets .Putting its best foot forward too.
Very quiet here. There seems a lot happening everywhere else.
Was chuffed today. Got a quick lick from a neighbour's dog. She barely knows me apart from seeing me out of her window while her parents are away all day. I think she might be a staffy.

@Dimity how are you? Ahhh big apologies I missed your post 🙈, not sure how!! Haha love your post and the stylish pigeon 😅, I thought so too 🤣 lol putting its best foot forward, very clever 😂.
Oh a lick from the neighbours dog, you’re in the friend zone now with the staffy hehe. I love there big smiles they have on their faces!! I know you like cats, would you ever get a dog or nah?
I have some pics to share with you and anyone else passing by, I saw a kookaburra yesterday and maybe a mating pair of fig birds. The female seemed to be staying close to the male, when I have seen the males and females recently it’s been the males following the female around 😆. Oh and I saw 2 dollar birds yesterday as well they were too quick to get pics but they must be back which is cool 😎 .

Great shot @Chasingsunsets are they the fig birds? I saw the pair of magpie larks around the corner yesterday.
Had to look up dollar birds, better than a dime a dozen hey (joke).
Yes this staffy has a big smile too. She woofs at me out of her window sometimes.
I wouldn't know how to look after a dog and my little backyard isn't fenced off. And the rellies I'm closest to are dead against my getting another pet. But it's lonely without one.
Hope you're going ok, there were hints you were unwell.

I don't know if that tag works the same now either @Chasingsunsets but I've seen this and approved the image! Sorry we had a little backlog of beautiful photos shared this morning, I'm still working through them but enjoying getting to look at them all. Love the bird photos!
