The country is where I live and I’ve never regretted choosing to live here.
I just like living in the country and I’m happy to say it. I’ve talked about that before on this site I think.
And I love seeing birds too, and one of the best things about living in the country is the birds that live with you.
There’s really a massive number of birds out here, so many you can’t believe there’s so many. Maybe it’s because there’s so many trees out here in the country. The birds live in the trees and pull off the pods from the leaves and eat them, you can see them doing it all day long. They pick them off with their feet and hold them to eat.
Now I have to say that I like birds a lot but I don’t like the damage they do to my trees. They break off so many little branches to get to the pods that under the tree looks like a wasteland. There’s bits of my trees everywhere.
They’re all parrots, and parrots have strong beaks so they can do all this. But on the positive side they have great looking colors and they look great. I get them sitting around the verandah that goes around my house, they sit on the railings and look at me inside. And I love to see them there so I sit really still and watch them. If I sit still they don’t go away.
There’s so many benefits of having parrots around the house that you just have to put up with the damage they do to your trees. I could just run out and shoo them away from the trees but I just put up with it.
Its got to be so much better out here. Ill bet there’s no birds like that in the city. Too many people too scare them off and no trees for them to wreck and eat from.
And of course there’s lots of other animals here too, not just birds. Animals are just as good to have around as birds are. They’re all great to have around my place.
I think it’s good for you having animals and birds around the house. It’s nature and nature is important to me. It’s like life for everything else around us. So give me the birds and animals around me and I love being around nature with birds and animals. I’ve just had one of those colored parrots perch on the veranda right in front of me right now.
Ah, give me the country life, you won’t get me going back to live in the city and time soon.
