Hi my name is Angela, and I live in Qld Australia. I breed cockatiels, used to handraise them, but dont have the time anymore so they are parent raised now. I live on a small acreage property with lots of bushland, where we get lots of wildlife visiting, including possums,wallabies,kangaroos,echidnas,goannas and even the odd dingo. I am lucky that we get lots of birds visiting, including rainbow lorikeets,galahs,sulphur crested cockatoos,red tailed black cockatoos (rarely),pale headed rosellas,king parrots,kookaburras,kingfishers,an assortment of honeyeaters,owls,tawny frogmouths,and the list goes on.......... I love to paint birds, and often have my paintings for sale on ebay. Look forward to chatting with this group.

lol, we actually had one here that had a forked tail. It looked like the original tail had partially broken off, but not completely, and a new one had grown. Devil Gecko!!!

no, she doesn't seem to have any fear of animals. I was a wildlife carer up until she was about 6, and she has been surrounded by all kinds of furries and scalies since she was a baby. She will just go and pick up a dragon, or a gecko or frog or whatever and carry it around all day. However, she does respect animals, and has a healthy regard for snakes and knows she isn't to touch them unsupervised, even if they aren't venemous. Here is a pic of our little kitten, she lives inside, and is only allowed out if she is on her harness so the wildlife isn't under threat from her.

I am stoked that she is so much an animal lover, I think some of my influences mustve rubbed off onto her. Only problem is, she seems to think that she can keep all of these critters in her bedroom - free ranging,lol. Her goal is to own a pet snake, but like them as I do, I really don't want one in the house, I prefer them outside in the bush. My husband took a photo of my two girls with a snake around their shoulders, it isn't digital, so I'll have to find it and scan it onto here.

Here is my animal mad daughter Louise with a bearded dragon she found in the yard. She is always catching things, lizards, praying mantis, frogs etc, and wanting to keep them as 'pets'. She wants to be a vet when she grows up.
