Hand-Feeding the birds

This was my first time feeding birds and the feeling was indescribable..

At the Dandenong Ranges


The green-colored parrot


The red-headed one


Both were staring at each other


All in the family sharing food on the ground


So difficult to pick from this hand


Come, pick as u wish


Carefully supported


"Ain't I gorgeous?"

    At Jurong Bird Park here in Singapore, one can feed the parakeets at a small sum, they always welcome the treats but they sure are very noisy!

    I almost tried bird feeding at Jurong Bird Park in Singapore too. However, at the end could only watch my hubby do so...cos I got scared.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
