Visitors

I am sure that we are all aware of the difference between annoying guests and welcome visitors. Well we have both on a daily basis however they are of the Avian kind. Just about every morning as we have our coffee and breakfast on the back porch the welcome visitors stop by. They are charming and handsome pleasant to look at and they don't talk too much and it has only ever been two at a time. The African Grey Parrot these guys are endemic to this part of Africa so they are obviously wild parrots that come and go as they please. They are inquisitive and sit up on the roof cocking their head from side to side try to get a look at us while we look at them. They have a very pleasant vocalization, little whistles and clicks.

The annoying guest are those that come by and overstay their welcome, they are loud and obnoxious. They travel in larger groups and just set up camp in the yard and bark out these LOUD squawking sounds like a goose swallowed and kazoo and has the lung capacity of Cher. The Hadada Ibis show up in the morning and stay until late afternoon. Its enough that if you are talking to someone in the immediate area you both have to stop and start over again. Imagine what it is doing to my lazy afternoon naps.

Ill find some pictures or videos to post later.
