Another show of bird species.

I will intermittently post the many species of birds that we see every day.

This doesn't mean that I will only do bird species posts, as I will continue to keep on doing my normal variety of posts.

Just so you know, I am under orders to rest for one working day in the week and I chose to do it on Fridays. So, if you don't see a post from me on a Friday, don't worry, as I am not running away. There are four of us that have our birthdays on the same day, and I am the eldest. No parties, no gifts, and only friendships. Imagine when you first meet someone and you discover that they have the same birthday as you. Has this also happened to you?
In any case, I talk too much, and let's see the birds that I have to share.

The Red-winged Starling scouts (Onychognathus morio), continue to check if the tree's berries are ripe.

A pair of Egyptian Geese (Alopochen aegyptaca) landed on a roof of a house across the road.

Then their peace was broken by another goose that flew into their territory.

The male told his wife that he was moving to a higher spot to get the goose when it came over again.

And here he landed on the peak of a fire wall. Sadly, the stranger didn't appear again, as I would have loved to get their fight in the air.

A Guinea Fowl couple came strolling past, and it looked like that guy at the front was challenging me, as his neck hairs were bristling :)

All of the pictures above were taken during the day, and now the three shots below were later in the evening.

A line of geese was on the way home.

And finally, the sky showed me its version of a juvenile dragon bird :)

Do you also post for the fun of it, or is it the income that is your interest? To me the income is a great sideline, even though it is not for me personally. I build the income to secure the future of Papillon, as when my time comes, then I don't want Papillon to have to close down. We have succession plans in place, as Papillon has a board of volunteer members, and over the past 24 years, Papillon has built up a solid reputation, of care for the needy in the communities.

Lately, like all non-profits here in our country, things have become very tough, as the donors have dried up, but thankfully we have been through some tough periods several times before over the years. I say thankfully, as the negative periods have taught us how to survive. Never easy, but the experiences count and we simply continue to do with what we have. For instance, we have now during Easter distributed a load of easter eggs to several charities that work with needy children.
Such is life.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
