I know just how this bird is feeling.
This is my face after reading the news.
I also relate to the stressful snacking,
and that guilty look afterwards.
Birds seem to always understand us.
Hope these guys bring smiles and cheers, to you, from me at The Holler~
Note: Pied Currowangs are omnivorous birds from Eastern Oz.

Wonderful and expressive birds! (And I get about the stress too.)
I don’t actually look at my face while reading the news, but I am certain I look just like the currawong! დ
Thankful I am not a bird … despite the similarities with eating habits and distracted minds.
Thank you for posting this Cindy 💕
What I AM noticing more are the details of nature and the emerging Spring here in the North East US.
Creating a space of appreciation and observation of nature brings presence and comfort.
As I follow the hummingbird migration north, I think of you and the holler. May it be a place of refuge, delight and appreciation.
And May you and your friends and family remain safe and well 💛🙏💛

Nature is the best solace and hummingbirds are the best ambassadors. I love your thoughtful message Val & thank you sincerely. Stay safe & well დ
WOW, CINDY GREAT PICTURE, WHAT A YELLOW EYE! 🙂 HOPE YOU & YOUR FAMILY ARE WELL DURING ALL OF THIS. I AM TRYING TO GET STARTED BUILDING A WEBSITE WITH NEW BLOG. A GOOD WAY TO OCCUPY MY TIME INDOORS.
Thank you Mitchell and I hope you are yours are staying safe as well. Your new website sounds exciting. Look forward to seeing it დ
Oh I love this, and that bird is so great! I hope you’re well, Cindy! 🙂
Thank you Arbie! He does look quite a bit like many of us are feeling. Stay safe my friend დ
Great post. My dear late friend Brian Doyle has a book of short stories called “The Mighty Currawongs.
Be well; be safe; be kind.
Awwww, thank you Jim & you be safe too. I will look for the book დ
Looks like a clever bird (a corvid?) ….oh gosh, I just realized that that family name will forever be tarnished by recent events. 🙁
«Birds seem to always understand us.»
Hmmm. Maybe that’s why the currawong looks frazzled in #1 and #2. 😉 Glad that (s)he saw the chance to have some splendid portraits taken and then managed to spruce up and show off that pied tail.
I think birds watch and understand people way better than we do them. It is good he got over his shock and showed us his lovely tail! 😉
Stunning close-ups of the Pied Currawong bird, Cindy! This is the first time I was able to see one thanks to you.
I am happy to make the introduction Peter. They are a most striking and unusual bird, related to magpies and butcher birds. დ
The currawong, you, me AND the planet… waiting for the other shoe to drop! Stay safe, Cindy. 🙂
I’ve never appeared as anonymous before! Sorry about that! 🙂
Thank you for identifying yourself. It is odd when this happens, but it happens fairly frequently დ
Yes. We just a rather distinct earthquake here at The Holler in Southern California დ
Wow I’ve never seen the currawong in close-up before. Great expression. I hope all is well with you.
So far, so good. Stay safe & well Phebie დ
The eyes are so striking! Great photos!
Thank you my friend & cheers! დ
I enjoyed the photos, Cindy! Now I know what a currawong is!
Yes, and that makes two of us! 😉 დ
Birds pick up on things. Søren, our African Grey, has been doing a dry cough and then laughing.
Oh my God!! I swear they are like little Freud’s, always seeing more in us than we see in them 😉
Well said, Cindy.
Thank you & stay safe დ
What a great series of photos to see as the day begins! Thank you.
Ahhh, thank you more for telling me დ
You too!
ღ
What a cute inquisitive face!
I very much love that you see cute! Says good things about you დ
Such beautiful and expressive birds! And you are so funny…I needed that today! <3
Yes, we need a bit of jolly and the currawong definitely delivers 😉

Thanks much my friend & take good care დ
They are an interesting bird Cindy. Up in the hills they will get together in groups and chatter and squabble like its a big family reunion. With this they earned a nickname of ‘Hillbillies’ 😀 😂
They would fit right in at The Holler!
Cuckoo. 🤪
😉 😉
Terrific!
Grazie mille დ
Oh, my goodness, look at that face! Your captions did bring a smile. Thank you!
Smiling back at you Liz. Take good care დ
I am smiling. 🙂
I love these photos!
Thanks for sharing.
Be well, be safe, Cindy.
I am smiling due to your very kind comment! დ
Animals have a lot of expressions that we can see if we take the time to look for them. Nice photos. Fun post!
Thank you! Animals are definitely communicating with us. It would be good for us, to make effort, to try and hear what they are saying. დ
My mother always said they talk to us if we only listen.
Your mother was right! დ
TY. I think so. 😉
დდ
Lovely, Cindy. Yes! I can relate.
Birds are just like us, except they can fly away. Stay safe Cynthia დ
Love their brilliant yellow eyes and their musical song. We have a pair visit us for breakfast each morning Cindy. They are actually quite shy and hang back till the other pushy magpies have had their feed first
I know you know Pauline, you live in my kind of paradise. Stay safe my friends, both you & Jack დ
Now, that is a bird who should be in theatre. What an expressive face. I know he could be an amazing Hamlet. Hugs!
I have heard birds singing opera like the true divas they are. Shakespeare? The required accent might trip them up. 😉 Love to you Rebecca დ
That 1st photo is what I look like after viewing one of Trump’s “news” conferences. Love it……
Laughing….It is like the currawong was in the press corp. 😉
This bird looks like a deep thinker. A very expressive face.
Agreed. Birds are way smart, especially about humans დ
Haha! Very inquisitive bird!
Smiling. I have never met an un-inquisitive bird <3
Wonderful
Thank you. Be well დ
They remind me very much of an owl’s eyes. They are so intense, and seem to be looking right into you.
Yes. Some wild birds do that. Looking into their eyes is amazing. I am glad you experienced this. დ
Excellent.
The eye is really incredible.
Rather penetrating aren’t they! დ
Fabulous pictures, Cindy!
Thank you Sue! Much appreciated დ
Such an expressive face.
Yes, lots of thoughts and feeling percolating there! დ
😀 😀 Stay safe and have a nice weekend, greets, Annette
Visa versa 2UX2 Annette & thank you my friend დ
Bonjour CINDY
J’ai un cœur, tout tendre qui bat
Un petit cœur qui pourtant est grand comme ça
Il y a toujours une place pour une personne
Mon petit cœur est peux-t être fragile
Il m’a dis un jour
Que tu as réussi à trouver le mot de passe pour venir sur mon blog
Que ce code n’était pas très compliqué
Il est fait d’amour et d’amitié , de tendresse et de douceur
Ce n’est pas parce que on ne se voit pas ,que cela n’existe pas
https://i.postimg.cc/X74VX4Nj/coeur-1.jpg
Mon petit cœur te souhaite une bonne journée
Un bon week-end
Prends soin de toi, Bisous Bernard
Merci beaucoup mon ami Bernard! დ
wunderschön, liebe Cindy, das wollte ich heute kurz erwähnen:”Jammern bringt nichts, wir müssen uns arrangieren, Klaus”.
Ja! Guter Punkt. Positives Handeln ist wichtig. Deutschland leistet mit dem Koronavirus hervorragende Arbeit. დ
Great photos. A big flock of currawongs live in my town in south eastern Australia. They often visit the trees around my house and fill the air with their glorious, tuneful singing.
I can never possibly spend enough time in incredible Oz. You are fortunate to have all the wonderful birds for neighbors. დ
Yes, they are particularly good neighbours now. 😊
I understand! დ
Quite expressive! 🙂
Yes, lots of thoughts and feeling in those eyes! დ
Interesting birds… Never heard of Currawongs before…
The birds face on the first picture is similar to my current “news face”…
Stay save, dear Cindy! <3
Believe me, that bird face is my face too! 😉 Stay safe & well my friend დ
Great birds, great words with it. Keep safe Cindy and family!
Thanks so much my friend and you take good care too! დ
Great photos of these wonderful birds – there is a posse of them in my neighbourhood and sometimes I see over a dozen of them with their golden eyes and quizzical expressions perched along the branches 😊
I really do wish I lived in OZ. დ
They are quite expressive.
Yes, they are emotional creatures. დ
Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:
Pictures from Cindy Knoke of the Pied Currowangs of Eastern Oz.
Thank you for sharing & caring Patricia & be well my friend დ
He’s sort of a ugly-handsome chap. I love his intelligent yellow eyes. I try not to “think” about the news. I read it and then try and focus on something else!
Smart strategy and I am glad you are employing it. Birds do have this penetrating sentience that you see in their eyes. დ
Magnificent photos Cindy… <3
You are very kind & most appreciated Sue დ
<3
In crazy times like we have now, that first pic is perfect! Hope we are your family are well out there. Be safe.
Thank you Frank & I hope you and yours stay safe & well my friend დ
Yes, yes, yes! I recognized all of these bird faces!!!!
Thanks for making me smile this morning, Cindy!!
Visa versa. Your kind comment just made me smile დ
You can definitely read its mind
Yes indeed. The interesting thing is I suspect bird’s read our minds too! დ
Anonymous is me, Derrick
I am so glad my anonymous friends let me know I know them! Silly WP 😉
