Rooster Visit
I am not sure what it is about our courtyard at Mustardseed and Moonshine. We seem to collect BIRDS of all the wrong sort....baby pigeons which I ended up hand rearing to a Cormorant (a sea-faring bird defninitly not meant to land plonk in our industrial courtyard) to our NEWEST visitor this morning a young handsome rooster chap, we have nicknamed ROGER. After picking him up without fuss and settling on a lap, we have delivered him to our very own city barnyard farm. When he got there he made a few appreciative gurgles and settled in very pleased with himself!! Oh the Bird adventures we seem to have.
