| Ruby. Photography by F L Campbell |
Bush eggs: one. Nest box eggs: none. Feed hopper: two pellets! Feathers under the perch: TOO MANY.
No, No, No! NOT NOW! My moult has started and I’m going to be photographed for my painting any day now! What will I do? What will I DO? I look fowl (hang on, that doesn’t sound right). I look bad and I’ll only get worse. Perhaps I can fudge it. The feathers are mainly falling out of my gizzard side, so maybe I could give her my crop side – it’s not my best profile as I explained but it could do.
And Steve had the wattles to suggest I’m vain. It’s not vanity; it’s wanting to present one’s best attributes to the world at large.
