Dr Cro Dolittle.



Yesterday morning was filled with wildlife moments. Early on I was pestered by a Squirrel who seemed to want to come indoors to use the laptop. He was knocking on the big studio window right by my left hand side; I should have taken his photo.

Then later this baby female Blackbird appeared. I was leaning over by our outdoor tap, and she flew onto my back. She stayed there for quite a while until I simply had to stand up.

Later I fed her with some Brioche soaked in milk.


I think she's adopted me as her Dad. Later in the day, she joined us for supper.


I think I may have started something!

No pie jokes within earshot of the blackbird.

I love juvenile birds! How sweet!

We'd need another 23.

Cro Magnon said...

I wonder what happened to his Mum and Dad?

Sue said...

Freddie will be licking his lips.

Vera said...

Little creatures, how wonderful it is when they come close by and stay awhile.

Cro Magnon said...

I've given him a good talking to!

Cro Magnon said...

She seems so friendly. She's still here; I fed her some croissant this morning.

libby said...

And do you talk to her?

local alien said...

Sweet. She's found a foster home. Hope she stays

New World said...

Freddie, Bok and Lottie. (I named her).

Cro Magnon said...

Of course; koochie Woochie, etc.

Cro Magnon said...

I rather hope she goes, the sooner she finds her own way in life, the better.

Cro Magnon said...

Lottie I like. Lottie it is.

I have a bird here who comes whenever i feed the cats and eats from their food.

Cro Magnon said...

It's very reassuring when animals have such faith in us humans.

The hands in the photo's look to be those of a teenager ?
Very good images and camera work.

Charles said...

Possibly Lottie was attracted to the rather nice bottle of red on the table.

Maria said...

So sweet. I love their singing. I wish it stays.

Sweet post and beautiful pictures. This is very Disney like.

Cro Magnon said...

The top 2 pictures are my hands, the lower ones belong to my 11 year old grandson.

Cro Magnon said...

No wine, just spaghetti; which she loved.

Cro Magnon said...

She's just come indoors for her lunch. She follows me everywhere.

Cro Magnon said...

Well, she certainly keeps us amused.

I love this story! I have a bit of a thing for birds and I feed the masses. I was thrilled when a King Parrot (a large green and orange bird here in Australia) trusted me enough to feed from my hand and would hang upside down from the roof, watching me when I was on the porch. He comes back regularly and brings his family, too. I feel privileged.

Cro Magnon said...

On the other hand, it annoys me when birds don't trust me, but I suppose they have to be wary.

Doc said...

I wonder if she was hand raised by someone who thought she was old enough to fend for herself.

Donna OShaughnessy said...

Well, I could poke fun at you-man with pet bird and all- but recently a friend gave me her old rooster. She had to move off her farm. The other roosters picked on him, I gave him some special attention and now the dang thing waits for me by the back door every day!!

Cro Magnon said...

I think she had parental problems. Last night when I went to bed, she was in the bedroom.

Cro Magnon said...

Yesterday the bird had a run-in with our cat, so maybe she'll be a little more wary now, although (as I said above) I found her in my bedroom last night.
