WCMO is that with all the technology we have there is no live interpreter or translator so I can talk to me dog or cat or any other animal I need to converse with !! Come on Google or Meta why are you dragging your feet !!! We can have AI but no conversations with out closest friends ! Get real !!

Indeed. I would love to know what my bird friends are actually saying about me.

If it’s a Pacific Koel I don’t think it’s about you DRRON, we have a few on the coast and I hear they are reaching more of Melbourne these days. Was listening to the WBBL from Drummoyne on my drive back from VIC a few weeks ago and heard one on the broadcast. Worlds worst parents.

When I went walking with a friend at beginning of Spring he remarked the birds were all very noisy, I wonder what the chatter is all about.

Bit of a chuckle when I said its mating season I’m pretty sure I know what the males are conversing about

No it is my grey backed butcherbird friends. They come and see us every evening for drinks and nibbles on the patio. Becoming very vocal with time. And mum is a very good parent and dad has demonstrated his butchering skills. Dispatched a peaceful dove 2 days ago. He seemed very proud of his achievement.

You know they get their name from placing their kill on sticks for ‘ron (later on!)

It’s Channel-billed Cuckoo season in SYD (and particularly in my backyard - frequented by Currawongs). If you ever wandered what a pterodactyl might have sounded like, play the audio file here!

Channel-billed Cuckoo - BirdLife Australia

The Channel-billed Cuckoo is the largest parasitic cuckoo in the world. It has a massive pale, down-curved bill, grey plumage and long barred tail.

But it doesn’t do it justice to just how loud and blood curdling they can be when they’re running amuck at all hours!

They’re also bloody big birds!

Ah so that is the bird that is making all that noise in my front yard!

It is 4am and I am awake and cannot sleep from all the noisy birds

I don't know why I did it but I BPay'ed to Latitude 28 Degrees earlier this week.

$1.95 fee for using BPay. FFS.

This on top of 30% interest and $8 a month account fee. This is out of control. You can see why something needs to be done urgently.

That's been there for years. It's why I gave it up for a while. The fee of $8 is of course new.

The fee of $8 is of course new.

I tried to cancel when that was brought in, but of course the cancellation failed because a late charge came through., Was going to pay that then cancel, but suddenly received a waiver of the monthly fee for a year. Coincidence? I doubt it.
