Finished the first full mowing of the season and this included the annual knocking back the grass under the trees in the grove down the back. We have a pair of mated kookaburras and they are afraid of nothing. Happily hand fed. One was sitting on the tractor front end loader arms as I was bashing tbrough the undergrowth so it could get the first pick of the wee animals that were lurking in the grass.
I lost a buddy because of the grass. I called him "chef", also hand fed and happy to perch on me for a snack. he used to follow the brush cutter and grab all the juicy stuff as I cut the grass that hid it all. One day he swooped down and got caught in the brush cutters back swing. Didn't kill him but the vets ended up having to put him down because he wouldn't feed with a broken beak.
....ima go have a little cry now
