W for Wildlife in the Backyard
We get lots of different animals visiting our home. Fortunately most stay outside. This is a big black parrot. They usually come in pairs.
We have a number of green frogs and the other day I saw a blue tongued lizard. In our last place we saw poisonous brown and red belly black snakes. The brown snakes loved laying eggs in the warm compost bin. Poisonous red back spider occasionally visit too.
I am wary gardening and don’t wonder around in the dark. Fortunately most of the dangerous animals keep away from humans most of the time.

I welcome comments. Any wildlife visiting your backyard?
Wow, amazing…and I thought it was a big deal to have raccoons and possum in my neighborhood 🙂 Glad you are being careful when gardening! And thank you for your supportive comments on my posts.
Fortunately we don’t see the dangerous ones much but it still take the fun out of relaxed gardening when you need to be watching all the time.
The parrot’s beautiful! The wildest creature we have visiting occasionally is a mongoose. They’re wary of humans though so don’t usually get close. We see them scurrying across the lawn, stopping to stand tall and peer around! Too cute.
I had to look up mongoose as I was not quite sure about them. I assume they cause some damage with holes.
He looks impressive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black parrot before.
W is for Warp and Weft
Thanks for visiting. I enjoyed you W post. I have on seen weaving on the TV. I had a blanket my Uncles family made from the shearing the wool, spinning and weaving. I was minding it for a cousin but gave it back.
Kookaburras, sleepy lizards, golden orb spiders, butcher birds and some more
Yes there are so many. Don’t think I have seen any golden orb spiders locally.
We gets lots of wildlife but alas no black parrots. Lucky you.
Now the road they mowed a paddock and there must have been over 100 of those big white cockatoos when I drove home to work today.
