When I open the kitchen blinds I have around 30 regular birds awaiting a morning feast of bread.
We sometimes get idiots parking across our drive
Broken up bread across the dash and windscreen results in strategic bird shit
For overnight offenders eggs harden
in about 20 minutes

Never get sick of the drive down our road..never ceases to amaze me. I haven't seen another location like this anywhere in Melbourne. Mixture of avenue then valley. You can see for several k's to rolling hills..
People occasionally have a grumble about the AU burbs and I can understand why, but their comments do not apply to this location.

But what would wake me up when I fall asleep in front of the telly, if I didn't have a herd (obviously not the correct term but jeez, they sound like a herd) of possums dancing across the veranda roof?

There are a couple of possibilities re a group of possums: a party, or a grin. In the USA it's a passel of possums.

Not so close infact: its deceptive, and very very different in some ways. I couldn't live in the Dandenongs.

It's been nice reading your responses!! I've been off here for a while after my surgery so this has put a smile on my face.
