Kumara in Slumberland - dreams of kookaburras

Comment by Rhonda Fisher on August 5, 2012 at 7:26am

Kookaburras and dreams. My boys get so annoyed with Kookaburras they pop up on my sisters farm fence and bark in disgust. Must be the fact that a bird is being rude enough to laugh at them. Cockatoo by the hundred, so much louder and they don't bat an eyelid. 1 kookaburra and off they go.

I love kookaburras and cockatoos. Galahs too! I used to walk with my first Irish Setter, Kelly, to a local park  in Strathmore where some old gum trees were located. There was one that was  a home to a galah who used to peak his head out and squawk when Kelly came to the base and barked. It was quite a funny routine they both had.

Kumara came from Keith at Taraglen - so I think she was used to hearing the kookaburras. She is now nearly deaf.

That would be Napier Park. Lot of reveg has been done there now but still a great park for dogs. Galah's are a hoot, such funny antics. I could just imagine a Galah doing this.

My first Irish girl Skye came from Keith also Marc.  Very close to where we live.  Lots of bird life around here.

Kumara is beautiful.  Looks a lovely gentle girl.
