I can so relate.
Thanks to covid, it has been seven months since my hair has been professionally cut.
I cut my hair with my husband’s buzzer and it looks much like this kookaburra.
Actually, it looks much better on a kookaburra!
My friend told me, I look, “natural,” which is nice friend speak for “God awful, but real.”
I’m cool with real.
If it’s good enough for the Kookaburra, it’s good enough for me.
Cheers to you and keep smiling~

So glad you posted these photos. I’ve never seen a kookaburra, but I wish I had the opportunity. Fascinating. And, yes, I can identify with the hair!!!!
Natural is a good thing! Amazing what can become our new normal, isn’t it? Virtual hugs, Cindy!
Yes it is & hugs back to you დ
Hair today, gone tomorrow, such is life! So happy to introduce you to the Kookaburra დ
A very cool bird!!!!
Thanks! I think so too დ
I’m sure you look pretty fabulous. But fearless is more like it. I’d be afraid to use one of those buzzer things. As for the kookaburras–They’ve got kind of a ruffled baby eagle look to them…
There is something hugely freeing about just buzzing off your hair, but the ruffled baby eagle look definitely wears better on the Kookaburra (◐⊝◑)
Yeah. I can see that! 😉

Reblogged this on Musings on Life & Experience and commented:
Even birds like the Kookaburra may look like they’re having a Bad Hair Day.
Hugs to you Patricia & thank you my friend დ
I’m getting a big kick out of this one, Cindy. I finally got up courage to get my hair done, and I tell ya, it’s such a treat! After months of looking like a shaggy dog, I finally am looking more like me (and less like Ms. Kookaburra, ha!)
Good for you! With me it is a case less is more…. (◐⊝◑)
You would look fabulous no matter what and the photographs are wonderful.
You are such a good friend Gigi დ

“Eatin’ all the gumdrops he can eat…”
The gumdrops from the ol’ gum tree must be tasty! (◐⊝◑)
I finally made an appointment 🙂
Courageous! My husband survived the barber. For some strange reason he doesn’t want me buzzing his hair…. (◐⊝◑)
I just don’t understand it! 🙂
Men are hard to understand sometimes….. 😉 😉
To wild, natural, and free! 😃
Amen Brad! დ დ
🤸😍
I’m sure you don’t look that bad! 🙂 I find it funny that the birds hair at the top is flat like Trump’s hair.
The birdie has a cropped path right down the top of his head that is shorter then the rest of his buzz. I have this too. It looks far more fetching on the kookaburra, trust me! No bird, person or creature has hair that looks as ridiculous as Donald’s, and he spends lots of time everyday combing and hair spraying it into place, not to mention the orange dying and over growing of the comb over. He looks this way on purpose!! (◐⊝◑)
HIs charm shines threw Cindy, I’m sure yours does too.
Leslie
Awwww, so sweet! Thank you Leslie დ
I wish I could blame COVID-19 for my chronically bad hair days – but I can’t because I know I have been this way for years. These are wonderful photographs!!!
I empathize. The importance of hair is over rated. It is what’s happening under the hair that matters most. Funnily enough, I think I will keep the buzz, just grow it out a bit more დ
I am just going to keep growing my hair, until I look like a crazy old witch lady. And then I will wear purple, and say random things. And everyone will wonder, more than they do already, if I have lost my mind.
It sounds like an excellent plan, and I am going to steal it from you (◐⊝◑)
Great pictures, Cindy!
Grazie mille დ
Beautiful!
Merci beaucoup mon ami დ
🙂 c’est un plaisir
(my French is very rusty)

Thanks for the giggle. Read this to my daughter so she could giggle too. Those are actually good looking birds and I appreciate your industriousness. I’ve been cutting my own too. Last good cut was last February. ;( I just decided to leave it long enough to pull it in a pony tail and run. I’m all about natural too. 😉 I like your friend.
A friend who can look you straight in the face and tell you what you want to hear, regardless of the truth, is precious indeed! (◐⊝◑)
That should be called a President bird – it reminds me of someone…
Yes, but the kookaburras look so much better than that kook……. And that kook spends so much time each day (when he isn’t watching Fox News) to look this way, ON PURPOSE!!! (◐⊝◑)
Not difficult to look better than him, is it! It clearly doesn’t take intelligence for him to want to look like that…
No it is not difficult and his look requires no intelligence….
Thanks for the chuckle Cindy! Great captures. By the way, Mohawks are coming back 😊
Mine, like the kookas, is sort of reverse mohawk…..(◐⊝◑)
Love how you go against the trends … and find your own way. Keep sharing your photos and the awesome you 😊
Visa versa 2UX2! I admire you დდ
Beautiful shots of this bird, Cindy.
Muchos gracias mi amiga დ
Love those kookas! Great pics
Glad you do & thanks so much! დ
O my goodness, I don’t know whether to first spend my time laughing with your great sense of humor, or marveling at the unbelievable crisp clarity of your photos! Every detail of the wings and shades within the reflected light on the eyes is so crisp, it’s like sitting right next to the bird. How in the world are you able to capture this type of detail? Brilliant images and humor 😀 love this!!
Awwww…. you make me so happy I posted Liza. Thank you so much for your kindness and be well my friend დდ
Nine months for me too but I am actually liking my hair long and curly… I’ll get it trimmed at some point but I’m keeping it long.
Love the pics of the Kookaburra, and I’m sure you look just as beautiful! The last time my hair was professionally cut was about 45 years ago! I trim my fringes and ends, and don’t worry about the rest! Hugs!
You could have posted your snap along Cindy.😃
I could have, but I am not masochistic 😉 (◐⊝◑)
😃
Lol. Hair has definitely taken on a new look these days. Great photos, Cindy.
I kinda like it!! Au naturale…. (◐⊝◑)
These birds are so cool. Just love them. 🙂
They fly around wherever you go and people watch! (◐⊝◑)
The kookaburra not worried about a bad hair day. 🙂
Deborah and Elizabeth both wear their hair long. Elizabeth had waist length hair once, before cutting it back. Both braid their hair and have said you need enough hair to braid. Tara used to wear hers long before cutting it back to shoulder length where she’s kept it. Laurie and Andrea keep theirs short, less maintenance. They haven’t been tempted to use buzz clippers. Besides, the buzz clippers are here at home.
My daughter is an Andrea. She would never buzz her hair. But my husband and son, I can’t figure out why they won’t let me buzz their heads!!! I keep offering…. (◐⊝◑)
Wonderful! I’m sure the kookaburra thinks the cut looks much nicer on you.
So nice of you, but I am certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt that he would know I look ridiculous. Birds are quite smart 😉 (◐⊝◑)
I doubt that you look ridiculous. We’re all sporting interest styles right now!
I look ridiculous, but I agree, now is a good time to look “interesting!” (◐⊝◑)
😊
Still laughing!
Gorgeous shots, Cindy!
Not sure what bad Hair Day Bird I look like right now, but I’ve been growing out the grey, and to a certain extent my stomach. Hmm, I wonder if there are any long hair penguins? 😀
Laughing a lot!!! …..There definitely are long hair penguins and they would look most fetching in a glamour gown. Check out:(◐⊝◑)

Whew! I knew I looked like a bird!
Birds are the most gorgeous creatures on the planet and you do! დ
დ
Cindy, based on these photos, it must look adorable. 🙂 Thanks for these smiles. Hugs on the wing.
Just imagine the Kookaburra’s hairdo on me and you’ll have a better idea! It looks very good on the bird though (◐⊝◑)
They prepare themselves to winter time this is why the do not visit the hairdresser. 🙂
Laughing…..I never thought of this, makes perfect sense! (◐⊝◑)
Maybe it’s a bad hair day, but, so cute!
They are genuinely winsome birdies! დ
You made me smile, Cindy…I’m sure you still look lovely!
Friends like you are so good to have! Thank you Ally დ
You too Cindy and it’s a pleasure. xxx
დდ
I love the Kookaburra’s hairstyle, I’m sure you look rather attractive with it. 😉
Trust me, it looks much better on the Kookaburra (◐⊝◑)
I noticed today, that I haven’t seen a post from you in a while. Guess what? WordPress in its infinite wisdom has taken you off my reader list. I was so upset when I saw it. How dare they?
Anyhow, I must be now your newest ‘follower’ and reader. Can you believe that?
I think they do this regularly to me too. They keep down volume (and expense?) down by trimming our readership rolls. I dislike it intensely because, as you point out, it is so hard to detect, and many people go missing without me knowing, so I hear your frustration and second it. Happy you are back დ
Ich habe eine ganz ähnliche Frisur wie der Kookaburra, nur viel länger. Auch du Cindy wirst fabelhaft aussehen, lächeln. Übrigens die Bilder sind ganz toll, wie immer…,
Vielleicht haben wir passende Frisuren, weil ich es auch tue! Bleib sicher und gut, mein Freund (◐⊝◑)
Oh such wonderful pics Cindy. Makes me a little homesick. I can hear them laughing in my mind. And I’m pretty good at imitating them 🙂
Alison
I want to hear this!!! (◐⊝◑)
LOL! One day . . . .
დდ
I live ina a city (Milan, Italy) and I’ve never seen birds like this! Amazing. The pictures are great 🙂
I love Milan and Italy! So happy you enjoyed the birdies and thank you for letting me know დ
You brought a smile to my day with your comments about your hair! Fabulous photos of these unique birds! 🙂
❤️carmen
So happy I brought a smile Carmen & cheers my friend დ
I only see perfect hair, as styled by nature.
You have 20/20 vision my friend დ
Covid affected everything! (lol)
It certainly has!
I’m in love, thanks.
You are most welcome. They are adorable creatures (◐⊝◑)
Your photos never ceaze to amaze me! <3
Awww, thank you! You make me happy I posted დ დ
They’re so cute, Cindy😸Pawkisses for a Happy Wednesday🐾😽💞
Visa versa 2UX2! დ დ
Wow, what beautiful touches of blue on his back and wings! God has such an eye for color in unexpected places.! No pictures of you in your pandemic hairstyle??
Yes, birds are a celebration of the beauty of life. I would not subject you to photos of my hairdo. I like to post only positive images!! 😉 (◐⊝◑)
Cindy, these are great photos!
Thanks so much Charles & happy you enjoyed them! დ
Beautiful photos Cindy🤩👍
Grazie mille დდ
Love your hair. 😉
And love the kookaburas. Never saw or heard one, they seem so… remote? Wasn’t there an old rock song about them?
Thanks much on both counts! I have never heard a rock song, but there is a famous folk song that most children worldwide learn (◐⊝◑)
Yes there is. BY Tommy Steele:
Do you have the name or link to the folk song?
Hilarious! Here’s a link:
Steele was reportedly the first Brit Rock & Roller. I still have a couple of his very early singles… My mother was a big Rock & Roll fan.
How interesting. Thanks for sharing. დ
A very fresh song. (Refreshing) with a Celtic melody? Thank you Cindy. Have a nice Sunday.
დ
Fun post about hair cuts and the Kookaburra, Cindy. Gave me a smile.
Smiling back at you my friend (◐⊝◑)
This Kookaburra is looking so nice. Dont worry, Cindy. In my opinion, your hairstyle is very different to hims. You are looking great. Michael
Awww, thank you very much Michael (◐⊝◑)
:-))
Those Kookaburras are such sweet-looking birds! Your hair comments made me giggle, Cindy! In fact, I have just had my third hair-cut since I stopped shielding at the beginning of August. We are now just about to be locked down again so I am so pleased to have short, neat hair. My husband offered to cut it for me in the summer. I preferred to risk a visit to my hairdresser!
You sound like my husband, and I like your husband! Jim gets a look of genuine panic when I suggest I’ll cut his hair! 😉
😀
