Amy a Blue Front 'Zon
Jonesy a Goffins 'Too who had to be rehomed :-(
And a Normal Grey Cockatiel named BB who came home with me on 5/20/2016.
...as most of you may know,I live with David (my bro ) in a town with about 45k residence. We live about one mile from the "center" of town,off a main street. The back yard is a mini oasis,with a bunch of tall tree's at the properties edge ( see pics I supplied). There is a small "stream" behind the tree line.maybe two feet wide and a foot deep,when there is sufficient water flowing lol. The houses on either side of us are vacant,the one on our right just went up for sale...the owner had passed last year and relatives from PA have been here cleaning it out,and the house on the left is owned by an elderly woman who is in a nursing home,David has been here four years now and has never seen the "owner". The place is still maintained..i.e. lawn mowed and snow removed. There is a car in the driveway but has no tag on it,not driven. So it is pretty quiet on this side of the street! Two blocks up the hill is a large cemetery. Our town has it's own social media website for residence to post.
People have posted seeing deer and a family of coyotes in there. About a mile away is a well-known college prep school..Choate School. Many of well known scholars have gone there..John F Kennedy for one. When I worked there in the kitchen in the early '70's while in high school I actually met Jamie Lee Curtis ( before she got famous lol) also the future Prince of Saudi Arabia and the son of the Sony's c.e.o. just to name a few. Anyway I'm getting off track here. People have posted seeing black bears on one of the soccer fields last year!
Our back yard has all sorts of wildlife. All sorts of birdies. Jays and robins and woody peckers chickadee's cardinals wrens orioles toehee's etc and an occasional hawk/falcon We have a family of ground hogs..Tank and his missus and their two kids Panzer and Sherman (TANK...get it? ) also a couple of the smallest/cutest bunnies you ever saw!
A couple Saturdays ago I was out on the deck about 6am having my tea and at the tree line I saw what looked to be a small doggo laying down. He was mostly white-ish mixed with grey and black with big ears sticking straight up..he was just laying there looking around. I went in the house to get David but the critter was gone. I'm sure it was a coyote.
A few days later I noticed we hadn't seen Tank or the Bunnies :02: I was worried they had become "snacks) for the coyote. Thank goodness I saw Tank early yesterday morning ( he and family are usually seen early am or late afternoon) and I saw two bunnies this morning.
So yesterday afternoon I took Amy outside for some fresh air and sunshine and I sat on the bottom step leading to the deck and let him walk in the grass at my feet as he nibbled on grass and a twig or two and grubs lol. All of a sudden Amy tilts his head sideways ( to look up) and made a "trill" sound he makes when he see's something that frightens him as he tried to climb my pants leg and a freakin hawk landed on the peak of the garage about forty feet away That bird was HUGE! I immediately bent down and scooped Amy up in my hands and went inside. Thank goodness Amy has great eye sight,,he saw that bird before i did!
