Penniedarling

 Mandy fell out of her nest on this day exactly 4 years ago, Niall found her then David wrapped her up and took her to our local Vets who checked her over and called WIRES who came around and showed us how to look after her.  We made her a new nest with lots of dried grasses in the bottom and watched as her mother attended to her every need and we watched her grow.  

In mid December our family all headed to Hamilton Island for a week and Alda, our next door neighbour let us know that Mandy had flown off, but only a day or two after our return there she was high up in one of our trees saying Hello... with her mother by her side!

Over the months Mandy visited often with Mother watching out for her but in the past two years Mandy has come for a visit on her own, if I don't notice her she calls in a very soft 'Who ha' and enjoys a little nibble of meat.  Such a joy and honour!
