That always make me think: When it comes to introduced species there are Alexandrine parakeets living on the wild here. Even a small population of greater rheas made it to the wild. But no Keas ever escaped. They could make it far easier than the other two, but no ... - what a pitty!DennisN said:
There's a special vacuum cleaner for substrate but I don't use it because it would uproot the plants :-)Pepper Mint said:

Hmmmmmm. I wonder how much it ate to grow that much, that fastSophia said:Remember pictures of birds on our balcony that I posted on previous page? (#1594))
This is what they look like now! It's unbelievable how fast they grow. They can already fly. One of them kept bumbing on the balcony door because he wanted to get inside :D I tried to scare him by waving hands and knocking on the door but the little brat wasn't afraid of me at all

I guess most dogs love popsicles. It's always so hard to eat it with my dog nearby. She usually gets about a quarter of it :p (I don't let her lick it of course, I only break bits of it. But I know a lady who let's her husky lick the ice cream and then she eats it)fresh_42 said:

Birds are amazing. A symbol of freedom. I'd like to have one, but when I researched I saw they are very demanding pets and I wouldn't be able to provide them with proper care :-/Rubidium_71 said:
At the time I wished I had a piece of meat I could've tossed out the window for him, but he took me completely by surprise. It was all I could do to get some pics of him. I'm not exactly sure of the species, but he appeared to be a bird of prey.Sophia said:
I have recently read the following.Astronuc said:"It's just a cat".
Last week, I was leaving work. Driving a long the main road I was watching the sprinkler system watering one of the lawns near the road. I saw something on the sidewalk, and as I approached, I notice a juvenile hawk with his wing spread standing on the sidewalk taking a shower under two water jets from the sprinklers. It had quite an expression on its face. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop for traffic, and even if I had been able to park, I'm sure he/she would have flown away. Furthermore, we're not supposed to approach wildlife. I would have need a camera with a telephoto lens, which was at home.Rubidium_71 said:
Thanks!Rubidium_71 said:
I also like those insects a lot.What a beautiful Bee Fly! Do you take a lot of pictures of insects DennisN?DennisN said:Three more nectar thieves I caught on photo yesterday...
Not usually, but for some reason I have done so lately. It is a bit tricky, it requires patience, timing and the will to take many photos where only a few turn out to be sharp and fine... animals are often a real challenge to photograph...Hoophy said:
