Am I losing my marbles!

Working in my kitchen today with the back door open I heard a blackbird giving out his frantic warning call. On investigation he was sitting on the overhead cables that pass just outside my boundary. I looked up and said to him......whats up? I told him I'd have a look round for any cats that might be lurking. I was talking to him the whole time and finished by saying, I can't see anything, it's down to you!

It didn't occur to me until I went back inside, I was holding a one sided conversation with a blackbird who hadn't got a clue what I was saying. If the neighbours heard me they must think I'm mad! :DOH:

 

i yak on to them all...bees,slugs and the frogs are sick of me, i cart them back of to the pond like they are not allowed out, telling them off cos theyve startled me whilst weeding so ur not the only potty one x

 

Sheal the neighbours probably were out, that's why the blackbird was shouting! I'm sure your neighbours are used to you.

I talk to the birds whilst putting the bird food out, they shout at me, so i talk to them. I'm sure they are getting used to me now, they sit on the bird table at tea time and look at the window, hinting for food. Cute.

 

Yes :D

 

Glad I'm not the only one. :yess:

 

:D I say hello to most wildlife that will stay and listen. Except swans, usually end up either fighting with them or picking them up.

 

Glad i'm not the only one.:yess:

Have to be carefull with Swans, unless they are coming into land, they forget to put their undercarriage down when you put them down:DOH:

 

Did you know that the blackbirds chatter alarm is for ground predators?...When they make a long drawn out 'Weeeeeeeee!' it's a bird of prey or a crow.

 

Or was that Weymouth girls?

 

Zig, you'd like this track by the Singing Loins: 'Chatham Girls'. (They wrestle good.)

I always talk to the wildlife. And the cat. He's a brilliant listener and hangs on to my every word. Especially around feeding time.

 

Cheers Clare,

bet Mark Radcliffe has got that in his records:D
