Title: The life of birds Post by: RED-DOG on May 05, 2007, 11:04:50 AM On Sky 533. Achingly beautiful.
Seen it loads of times, still think it's one of the most stunning series ever made. Title: Re: The life of birds Post by: madasahatstand on May 05, 2007, 09:22:16 PM If i had a choice to be an animal it would be a bird. I was in Marrakesh earlier this year and saw the most awesome sight:) The market people selling grain and spices allow the birds to eat to their hearts content. Quite beautiful:)
In the picture you'll see the birds if you look close at the bottom left Title: Re: The life of birds Post by: wader leg on May 05, 2007, 09:35:12 PM On Sky 533. Achingly beautiful.

And the bird that tidies up it's little "garden" & puts nice flower petals around it - extraordinary.

Quite beautiful:) In the picture you'll see the birds if you look close at the bottom left It's interesting to know that birds lack the receptors in their mouths that detect the heat from capsaicin (the hot stuff in chillies) - so they can eat the hottest, spiciest food that would make grown men cry. But they usually can't - as they don't have thumbs and can't get the lids off the bottles or jars.

They fit through the bars and are so friendly and really rather tame. They even perch on the trees in there with my babies. It looks so cute. When I go in to shower the parrots they all line up and flap about. I always thought robins didn’t get on with other birds?
