I've heard Jen talk before on other podcasts, including the 'Aliens & Artists' podcast, but I have not read any books or purchased any cards of Jennifer's.
I couldn't help thinking when I saw the cat and bird on Jen's deck of cards below of the cat that ripped a bird apart on my front lawn, only for me to see a crow feasting on what was left of the bird before I could bury it, which I now think was a pigeon -
All Things Bright and Beautiful?Going by the feather it might be a pigeon? |
As I'm listening to Mike ask Jen about owls, I was flicking through a local council rate payers magazine and spotted an article featuring Darryl Jones and the annual bird count.
I've written about Darryl and his book 'Birds at My Table' (although I've not bought or read that book yet) -
But on the page opposite was a picture of an owl with a rat in its beak advertising a live stream talk for November 14th, 2020 titled 'Rat problems and owl solutions':-)
Bizarre!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and the funny thing is Trish that I saw Darryl Jones, author of 'Birds at My Table' on the 'Gardening Australia' TV show which screened last night talking to another gardener about preventing possums from getting into your garden.
ReplyDeleteDarryl even produced a big fake owl, which are sold at local hardware shops like a scarecrow, and said these things are no good at scaring possums.
Funny thing is that Powerful Owls (which live in Brisbane, but I can never spot) hunt and eat possums.
