I feel I should report on the bird wars we are having where live.
Recently the plovers (who raise their babies in the vacant lot next to our units every year) were attacked by the Cockatoos. The Cockatoos appeared to have won the round, because there was no sign of the plovers for several days and a group of gloating Cockatoos strutted around the place.
Then, the plovers returned and the Cockatoos vanished... for a day. Yesterday I arrived home to find the plovers and Cockatoos fighting again. Clearly this is prime real estate (and not just for developers). I also think the drought might have something to do with it - there's probably more water around here than wherever else the Cockatoos might have been.
So who will win? A bit like a football game - at least it is more interesting to me than football (or cricket). And a bit of a warning about sentimentalising nature: red in tooth and claw, and certainly not given to sharing important resources!

About Me
- Wistwaveral
- I'm a Christian woman, married to a kind and groovy husband (L). This blog was an experiment in writing honestly without being self-absorbed, but has morphed into little thoughts about our little boy, and seems to be about to become something else!

Hello again! Yes, I'm in America. Isn't it fascinating that we can communicate like this-- continents away from each other?
So, I'm not sure what the Christian demographics are in Australia... I'm a Catholic. Are you?
Do you have children? My husband and I have two.
As for your
personal info- I, too, love movies! When I was teaching high school, I used movies as examples in teaching ALL the time.
And you mention enjoying historical fiction (I think!). Have you ever read the Polish trilogy of historical novels by Henryk Sinkiewicz? Absolutely fantastic.
God bless you.
