More animals

We had lunch over Jess and Brett's the other day. As you can see from the picture below, they have another animal to look after (I mean the little one, not the one with the beard).



That's a blue-tounged lizard I'm holding, a very fat one. It was originally taken from the wild illegally and kept as a pet, by someone who overfed it. The RSPCA seized it, and now it's in Jess and Brett's capable hands. As it's been a pet for so long it can't be returned to the wild, so it's a permanent addition to the family.

As well as the lizard, the snake and the brush tail possum that you've already seen photos of, they also have two tawny frog mouths, three ring tail possums, two rainbow lorikeets and a scaly breasted lorikeet, and a partridge in a pair tree.

Brett's working on a website for BARN, the Brisbane Area Rescue Network, at the moment. They're the organisation that helps to look after orphaned and injured wildlife and to which Jess and Brett belong. Once the site is up and running I'll post a link to it here.

You may remember a couple of months ago, that I posted about the Young Divas. Well someone left me a note the other day to tell me there is a new Divas forum with my blog posting in its articles section.

So, I thought I'd give you all an update on our Divas. They are laying so well that we can't keep up with all the eggs. They're still doing a great job of keeping the weeds down, and the poor compost bin is missing out because the eat all the kitchen scraps.

Just for the Divas fans, here's a picture of Kate DeAraugo, the chook one not the real one.




By the way, I was joking about the partridge in the pair tree.
