A Happy Friday to all and today I will show you some amazing tricks.
They are not exactly pets, but they all live here and they also feed here in our garden. So we see them every day and we call them our wildlife pets.
Come, let me show you some of their tricks.
Marian my wife laid the afternoon peanuts out for the squirrels and a visitor arrived.
Did you know that Ringneck doves can open the shells and eat the peanuts inside?
Right, now what was happening inside the yellow circle?
Wow! We had a squirrel acrobat picking the nuts in the high cork oak tree.
Yes and of course he could hang upside down.
See why I call them our wildlife pets?
Yes, we have a veritable zoo here in our garden, but they are all free to come and go as they please.
I posted a tiny dwarf chameleon baby this morning Here and I think that you will also like to see him.
Such is life over here.
And That's All Friends!
Note: All photos are my own and taken with a Canon Powershot SX60HS Bridge camera.
We hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.
Thank you kindly for supporting a post by @papilloncharity
Good to see the antics going on in the garden, everything is coming to life with cooler weather up our way...
Dwarf chameleon still in residence always gives one an extra special feeling such amazing little animals.
Happy weekend!

Thank you Lady Joan and we are boiling here in the last throes of summer.
They say that this side is 32C tomorrow, but we are traveling inland where it will be 35C.
Oh yes, even though I had to hose the odd cat near the tree, the dwarfies are still doing their thing.

Weekend reprieve from the heat has been most enjoyable, please don't send that back up the coast really hope winter comes soon....
Cats are doing what they do best, having a hose close to hand helps 😁

!LUV to the family!

Nope, I don't think it will come your way Lady Joan, as our Cape Doctor. the South Easter was very angry this morning. It was so strong that no choppers could fly water to the fire in the Cape, but thankfully now the wind has stopped and it did enough to stem the fire.
They are all flying now and we heard that army choppers have joined the action, so we hope that the fire will soon be stopped.
Some serious damages were caused, especially to the library and some heritage properties
Blessings,
!LUV

We had heavy gusting wind yesterday, nothing in comparison to the Cape, cooler overcast weather today. Hope those fires are under control and soon be put out, on match one person really equals devastation!
!LUV
!BEER
That wind yesterday was a blessing as it stayed the fire enough for the fire fighters to get it under control and then inexplicitly the wind laid down, so it was a miracle.
I am interested to know what the arson investigation will reveal as there were three of them and I hope that the one they caught will spill the beans.

Living in a dry country people don't take enough care in what they do, if this was intentional they should go to jail.
Consider every time toy-toy happens fires get started anywhere and everywhere, so perhaps another lesson to be taught from young...

BEER.This is what I call "wonder world". Amazing area for you to get in touch with wildlife creatures. Glad you let them come and go. We are actually living in a free world.
Oh, least I forget. I actually enjoyed that squirrel's tricks.
Thank you and yeah, we have a virtual paradise here.
As far as free goes, our belief is that all life, both human and animal is sacred and that it should be free.
Hahaha, yeah, the squirrels can certainly get up to things.
Cheers and !BEER
Absolutely!
And yes, all things - both human and animal should live freely and enjoy the life they've got.
Totally agreed with you mate.

You can't pet them like your dog but they trust you and they belong to your big family zoo. These squirrels are so cute 😊
!BEER and !WINE and !PIZZA - perfect 😃
!invest_vote
Oh yeah, we are careful not to make them too friendly with people Hannes.
The wild as you know belongs to the wild, but there is nothing that says that we cannot have fun with them.
Cheers and thanks for the beer, wine and pizza!
Ps. Too late to party tonight, but we will party tomorrow morning hahaha.
Right, the wild belongs to the wild, no matter how much I would like to cuddle or pet a bear 🤣
Cheers with !PIZZA and !BEER

A true story here Hannes,
Yesterday the game rangers were patrolling and they spotted a shoe track. So they followed the track and they discovered tree poachers. The three guys dropped their stuff and ran away.
The rangers caught one of them and another one was not so lucky as he rounded a bush and ran into a herd of Elephants with babies. The Elephants trampled him to death.
They are still searching for the third one.
So yeah, I don't think you should even consider patting a bear, as you will certainly make headline news that will stay on trending for a very long time 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
One caught, one dead, one more to go - I hope they will find him.
I hope I will never meet a bear in the wild, at least not a hungry one 🐻
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃
!invest_vote
There are so many poachers here that one caught is not going to make any difference Hannes.
Apparently the syndicates work at the Mozambique side, as they know that the people there are poor.
So they supply the guys with high powered rifles and axes and then send them over our border to come and kill our Rhinos. They use the rifles to kill the Rhinos and the axes to cut our their horns.
They also take orders for other animals such as Pangolins (most traded), Giraffes and Elephants.
Everything that they get is shipped out and sold at very high prices.
Oh man, pray that you never meet a bear close up mate and in the meantime you should sharpen your wrestling skills. Just in case you know 🤣
A hungry bear is bad, but I hope that you don't meet a bear that wants to play rugby 🤣
Cheers and thanks.
No words to reply here, my friend, there's a complicated logic behind the thinking of these people which is hidden to my simple mind.
... rugby with a bear? Depends on my role 🤣🤣🤣
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃
