Swearing parrots separated after telling folk where to go
Five African grey parrots at a Lincolnshire zoo believed to be a bad influence on each other
The parrots have since been distributed to different areas of the park so they do not “set each other off”.
No one had complained about the parrots, Nichols said, but they were separated for the sake of young visitors and in the hopes that they would pick up natural calls from the other African greys.
“People have come to us but they think it’s highly amusing, we haven’t had one complaint,” he said. “When a parrot tells you to * off, it amuses people very highly. It’s brought a big smile to a really hard year.”

Yeah, Caught that one just before the footy started. Reckon that might be a pigeon it's shredding to bits to feed it's young.
Had the pheasant come onto my balcony for a bath in the bowl just a few minutes ago

Needed a bit if fresh air to sober up so took an early morning walk around the local reserve.
It was great to see nature reclaiming small sections of civilisation back in our absence. Nests where they would normally be removed, weeds growing through concrete, all the possums were out and making a ruckus, even noticed a lack of squashed snails/worms on footpaths.
The main thing I noticed on the way to the reserve was the lack of litter on the streets. Certain windtraps with no rubbish to collect, smoker hangouts with no ciggiebutts outnumbering the ants.
It was beautiful.
I fear things will be worse when life resumes. What I wouldn't give to be the last human on earth getting to witness the earth reclaiming itself.
I don't know what the planet ever did to deserve something as destructive as humans.

Bnei Brak, Israel
An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man holds a chicken as part of the Kaparot ritual in Bnei Brak. Observant Jews believe the ritual transfers one’s sins from the past year into the chicken. It is performed before the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish year.

Have a look at these cheeky ratbags. Bold as brass, plotting and scheming every afternoon this week.
We have 2 quiet ones who come for a day spa in the water bath
Then we have upto a few hundred but usually 30 or 40 who come for a screech and peck,like a gang of teenagers
The 2 quiet ones avoid them but they hang out with the scalys
The scalys are quieter and get bullied by the other rainbows ...not the quiet ones

Well, at least they got a nice brunch out of it.
If you're up and about an hour before sunrise this week you may catch a 'shooting star' if you're lucky when the annual Orionids meteor shower peaks this week.
"The best time to see it is [Thursday morning] the 22nd, but you'll see decent meteor rates on the 21st and 23rd,"
The Orionids meteor shower is caused by Earth passing through the dust stream of Halley's comet
To find the Orionids, scan the northern sky and look for the 'Saucepan'.
The three stars in a line that make up the base of the Saucepan are actually the belt of the constellation of Orion.
