Pied Currawong~

On By cindy knokeIn Birds, Conservation, MY PHOTOGRAPHS, REVERIES, TRAVEL REVIEWS, Wild Life

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.

  5. Mercy, what wicked talons these birdies have!! Looks like they could have anything they want for dinner, ha! Thank you for introducing me to a bird I’ve never seen before. We’re all locked down in central Illinois, trying to stay away from the virus. Hope you’re safely hunkered down at The Holler, too.

    1. Happy to introduce you to this fine feathered friend Debbie & glad to hear you are safely ensconced at home. We are hunkering at The Holler and the empty spaces around us feel very good right now. Stay safe & well დ

  6. You are right that this guy has a little guilty look 🙂 and that is perfectly fine to me. I think he also felt a little warm from knowing a kind approval from you.

    1. Thank you Brad. They do look ravenish don’t they. But they are actually only distantly related to the corvidae. They are closely related to magpies and butcher birds. Stay safe and well my friend დ

  9. Yes, I can relate to all as well. It is restful, soothing and uplifting I think to watch the birds, wildlife and game to see the way they are without a care in the world. 🙂 There is a scripture (one is in Matt. 10:31) that says that God sees and knows every sparrow that falls to the ground and cares for each and every one and how much more he cares for us, his children. That is so comforting. Stay well and God bless Cindy as we all work through this together. 🙂

  11. Cindy, that first picture caught me totally off guard and I couldn’t help cracking up! Thank you for the laughter. I hope you and your family are doing well. ❤

  15. These little guys bring a smile.

    Hope you’re doing well. The next few weeks, probably through the end of May are going to be the most stressful. I hope you have plenty of snacks at the ready. And, if it gets real bad, the cats and I might have you to join you for some snacking. 🙂

    Stay well, stay safe.

  27. Great captures, Cindy. I loved the captions. I was confused at first, thinking that Pied Currawong might have a larger range that I first thought, then you mentioned Oz….. when were you here?

  31. Perfect sentiment. The birds can definitely relate to the way humans are feeling these days. I just did a series of blogs on my spearfruit.com sitevto hopefully put a lighter spin on things and to get people laughing and hopefully reducing some of their stress. Hope it helps!!

  36. Thanks for the wonderful photos, Cindy. Although I’m staying at home for a while now I’m a couple of days behind reading blog posts. Interesting experience, I thought I had more time for reading during lockdown. Stay safe and healthy.

  38. I talk to all the animals around here (Near San Diego)…lizards, snails, the rare rabbit, bees, and the birds. Birds are the best conversationalists. I do think they are reassured by my voice…less likely to fly the coop, so to speak. I talk a little in my native language and try a few “CAWS’ in theirs. I visited Japan once and I swear that the crows there only said, “KAH, KAH” and never “KAW, KAW.” Did the crows copy the people? Or did the people copy the crows? Of course, it could be sheer coincidence.

    1. No, it’s not your imagination, crows and corvids are very intelligent and excellent mimics with wonderful memories. They remember a person who is mean to them for years and years. I was out last night and talking to the cat like I always do in a falsetto voice, an owl responded and some sort of sleeping bird on the roof responded too. The cat and I were amazed! They liked the soft soothing, high-pitched voice. I normally imitate bird sounds, mocking birds and ravens reply. So talk away, the birds will love you for it, and who knows, you may start a conversation! დ

  46. What a wonderful distracting post, Cindy! The bird looks like similar to an magpie. On the last image he looks like a little bite concerned. But its a beauty one. Thank you for this wonderful posting, stay save, well and enjoy the weekend. Michael
