Paradise Flycatcher

I feel like I live in a menagerie. Tortoises, fish, cats, dogs, sheep, cows and the four children 💙💙💙

The cat pictured here is Tibi. He’s completely blind. The bird is a paradise flycatcher. The picture does not convey the noise but the paradise flycatcher was trying to explain to us all that his two babies, who were trying to learn to fly, had landed in a flower pot and couldn’t get out. We eventually got the memo, many hours later and helped him put his babies back in their nest. I hope they will be ok.

I've heard that when one sense is lost the other senses can be heightened. Tibi's ears look like they're on alert. Good shot

@jerzyfotos his hearing is incredible so I’m sure that’s so true

Great capture and lovely story.

A loving fave for Tibi, here, and you can share it for the marvelous capture (and story) of the flycatcher! When you live surrounded with Nature, you learn to understand the language! (Far more mundane than your life there, I tag photos of animals in my backyard, "Peaceable Kingdom". Through the years, there's been a lot of activity!

@Weezilou I love your words. I totally agree about learning to understand the language of nature. Peaceable kingdom sounds magical. I’ll check that out
