Also called "silver-eyes' and 'ring eyes' for an obvious reason. I had put out some sugar soaked bread and I'm sure they can smell it because they flock in! A frosty morning but sun all day.
Thankful for:
Invited to a private funeral - my nephew in law. He was a very private man and so was my niece. After growing up with her, she became withdrawn and reluctant with me. Don't know the reason - one just has to leave people to do their own thing.
I just love these birds, they fascinate me but I don’t think I have ever seen one in the flesh….must remember to look next time I come over! Will be more in South Island next time as son number one is moving down to live.
We know nothing about the reason why people are like they are but if we have no reason to think we have offended them we just have to accept & move on, glad you are invited to the funeral though.
@happypat Yes, you can only do a certain number of things to try to be friendly but when its never reciprocated, you have to do as you say and move on!
@jgpittenger Very interesting - the japanese variety is Japanese but has spread to USA. Our one - the silver-eye is protected as a NZ native... but they look both the same!

I am glad you are able to go for your final respects. You are wise to leave people alone when they want it
