There are few things as joyful to see as a baby parrot discovering that being sprayed with water on a hot day is THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD <wingflaps, ecstatic yells>

Thanks. A reminder that the big issue about pesticides is not so much the quantity in use, but their toxicity. Deltamethrine more than TEN THOUSAND times more potent than the DDT that did so much ecological harm decades ago!

I have spent the last few days trying to work out what this beautiful and rare amazon parrot smells like. It’s a good smell, quite distinctive, and this puzzle has been driving me up the wall. I worked it out just now. A chip shop. He smells of a Friday night chippie.

Toys I have bought the new parrot: complex cardboard towers, bright assemblages of blocks, woven balls filled with bright ribbons of crimped paper. Toys the parrot wants to play with: credit cards, cigarette lighters, knives, my tax documents.

There was another wonderful fall of migrant birds on Blakeney Point yesterday afternoon, with this gorgeous Red-breasted Flycatcher the star.
