And finally: On Your Mark, Get Set, Go
On your mark, get set…Hey, where are you going???
Oh, man, parrots that can open trash cans is the last thing we need in my complex…glad they’re way over in Australia.
Love Dandy Dinmont the seal! And racer puppy!!!!
Have to save everything else for later.
Natureland Seal Sanctuary! I spent many happy hours at Natureland back in the 70s as I lived in a village near Skegness.
Love the clever big-brain parrots putting brains and brawn to work…..and glad also they aren’t in my yard.
Racer puppy is brilliant!
I was reading an article about ancient pots and baby bottles and what might have been inside them, and what do I see in the ‘recommended reading’ section?
The Trash Parrots of Australia Are Very Annoying but Very Clever

How wonderful are cockatoos!
I just read the story about the parrots yesterday in one of the big papers, I think either NY Times or Washington Post. I would hate to see them in my area — but they’d have to work a lot harder because we’re issued GIANT cans on roller wheels with lids at least twice as big (and heavy) as the one the parrot is opening in the story. I bet they’d figure it out, though — they’re dangerously smart!
I for one welcome are new bird brained overlords. I think they may be smarter than some of the politicians in office. Other links are just sooo cute! And what’s needed for this Monday morning. The little figurines by the guy in Japan are amazing! Some of them are really lifelike. I’m not sure if fish is kissing the camera or trying to eat it, lol. I call no fair on racing puppy, how is he supposed to compete against a human considering how short those legs are, lol. Such a cute run too. Loved how he just gave up and ran over to the other human.
Awww! 💕 She too fast!
Great links today, running puppy is too cute for words and trash can parrots are scary clever.
I’d love to find a seal in my garden but it would have to take a bus or an Uber to get to my place from the river 7 km away LOL!
Finally got to see the friendly cowfish! Now I want one.
