On lawn-mowing days I have noticed that the Butcher Birds fly in. I have 2 acres to look after. The birds follow me around. As the ride-on slices through it exposes the bugs. The Birds have a banquet.
The Plovers are an interesting bunch. On foot I can get no closer than 20 metres of any of them. On the ride-on 3 metres. For some reason they don't see the machine as big a threat as a human on foot.
The Kukes and Magpies and Butchers are so tame that I can walk to within a metre or two. They are looking for a handout as I approach.
Now as the daily weather is dry the birds are at the back deck more often.
Cheers
