It’s only $250... the price doesn’t bother me I guess, I just wasn’t planning on getting a redfoot.. But this redfoot is pulling at me.... probably because it’s been stuck in that pet store for the past few weeks[emoji35]
And it’s a beautiful one...

It does not look very nice at the moment as it is all dry and brown. But I have posted a video before of the vlei. Here is the video.

Ha ha ha. Are you going to be able to wait that long?
That's what's really neat about them. They don't get fat on flies, they burn it off flying...But be prepared, if anything moves (night or day), the babies think it's mommy dearest. I love the sound of baby birds crying for their mom. Chimney swifts only take about 6 weeks to move on. But they are kinda loud while they're living in your chimney in your home...Oohh we need some on my brothers farm. They would end up fat and overfed on flies.
Bet your friend brings more to the party... they are super cute but can sure be a pest..and he’s on to you nowyou’ll have to find a gentle way to repurpose him before he becomes truly destructive... good luck!
Nice signature.. now I’ll always be looking for it!
I have a question.
I’ve had the same bird nest on my patio for about 4yrs.
Every spring a pair birds come back and lay eggs.
Do you think it’s the same pair?
Or do other pairs just find it and say “ hey, here’s a new home!”
Ha ha ha. Are you going to be able to wait that long?
I called and checked on the redfoot today.. it was still there so I offered the manager $200.. she told me it had to be there 6 months before they could discount .. I’m going to wait just a little longer...
Oh yeah, when is the 6 mo up?
I’m going to put another bowl of cracked corn out tonight and see who visits.
Yes. I've had simalar situations with robins and other birds in my yard. I believe I still have a robin's family because I just protected him as a baby.Highly possible it’s the same couple. Or it could be the next generation of the same pair?

Yip. Lots of those too. But that was taken last winter when we had a little bit of water.Will watch it again tomorrow. So much wildlife in there! But it also made me think of - gulp - mosquitoes... [emoji33]
It is. [emoji3] Except for the mosquitos and drought if I have time I will take a walk in the vlei tomorrow and do another one for you.Love it!! It looks lovely there!!
Trust me they will blend in with the chickens and the geese and ducks.That's what's really neat about them.

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] Didn't think so. I am surprised you have lasted this long with such a soft heart like yours.Doubtful...
Good idea.Sneak in every few days with a sticker thst says “SOLD”...
