@matildagirl It seems the Aussie birds are all living exclamation points in color and sound.
I have been working from home since 2020 and my desk faces a window with a clear bird feeder attached with several suction cups. The birds enjoy the seed and the shade from the oak tree.
Up close even the bossy starlings get to show off their plumage and of course the goldfinches are yellow jewels.
We have seen several generations of fledglings get their start and occasionally in the evening we hear owls.
I also have extended Australian cousins, emmigrants from Oxford many years ago.
Thank you for taking the time to include all the bird links!
@dannyboy sent me this uplift this morning. It brightened me to hear men, women, and children channeling Freddy Mercury's Bohemian Rhapsody

One week ago today..... I lost my beloved cat Majestic who died of a stroke in my arms. I have been grieving all week and the events of this week kept me in bouts of tears and sadness. I woke this am with this song playing in my head... I had not heard it before... but looked up the refrain online and this was the song... it feels significant somehow. Kacey Musgrave's Rainbow. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D6OFv566mj7s&ved=2ahUKEwjDraTtlNaPAxXrC3kGHaEHF4MQtwJ6BAgGEAI&usg=AOvVaw337Q_YUJMH1PB1fL0KbPER
@journeywithme2 Cats can be such wonderful companions, can't they? Some cats can sense your energy in detail and help your energy system thrive once they've formed a bond with you. Majestic was surely a great loss, and I'm sure you'll always cherish your connection with her. I think it was this cat who sent you the beautiful, uplifting song. Cats can send farewell greetings like this, just as close friends and family members can do after they passed away. I've experienced this before. I'm not sure how it works; I think only heaven knows. But I'm sure it's possible. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I feel for you!
Recently, we said in this forum that dreams and intuitive songs can have a personal and a more general predictive meaning. I sensed your personal one and I am sending you a big loving hug!
He was a very special boi. I can see him doing that. I think it's a significant song for all who are grieving. Love,Light,Loss.
The kid rocker is Ollie from Britain's got Talent. The video is amazing. Thanks Dannyboy.
@ghandigirl That is a good possibility.... telling me he made it across the Rainbow Bridge.
@journeywithme2 Love, I think the cat is telling you that he is over the rainbow bridge, and more. If you look at the lyrics of the Rainbow song, especially the last verse, it says that your cat is now in heaven ('the sky has finally opened The rain and wind stopped blowin') and at the same time you're still stuck in your old stressful life situation (But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again), but he tells you to relax anyway (Let go of your umbrella) because he will always have his way to contact you from heaven and thus everything will be fine for both of you (‘Cause, darlin’, I'm just trying to tell ya That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head Yeah, there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head It'll all be alright). Meow. 😻
Rest In Peace little boy. His name fits him. He looks majestic with his striking coat and markings. I hope he will visit you in dreams soon where you can still cuddle.

Sit back with your favorite Rooftop Lounge drink and watch:
For those who only come to Rooftop Lounge these days, Jimmy Kimmel is back in a not-to-miss show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tjh_ZO_tY
Posting this twice because some people only come here these days, ha ha.
@dannyboy turned me on to an app where you can learn sign language for free [correction it's free for 14 days]. Why learn sign? It's good for cognitive health, and it enables you to communicate with hearing impaired people. I took my first lesson and loved it. https://app.lingvano.com/welcome
It is so much better than reading the news.
Thank you, Dannyboy.
@jeanne-mayell to be fair/clear it is a subscription but it includes 14 days free and I loved it so much the last time I used it regularly that I took advantage of their current ASL month promo to subscribe for a year since it was discounted :-)
