Well...technically I'd have to say yesterday now, as it 's currently 0005 Thursday. But still...I felt like breaking out my swimsuit and working on a tan, lol!(not really. I'm Irish-American and I am pale as milk. I can't tan to save my life!) I have the feeling me being as pale as I am would make me stick out like a sore thumb in Australia, whereas in the UK I just look like another pasty Brit, lol!
      So, have you decider on a name for the wee one yet? How about Pool Boy? Lolol! Oh, I really want to cuddle one! They just seem so fluffy. I like fluffy things. Of course, I'm dying to pat a koala too. I want to know if they're as soft as they look! BTW, I make frequent donations to 1300Koalaz, and SKER, where King Harry lives. I'm an American koala advocate. I might live 22,000 miles away, but I've loved koalas all my life, and want to help save them.💖💖🐨🐦

      Honestly just a lot of time and patience, I think probably the biggest thing is that I let the birds come to me instead of me coming to them. So if there's a shy bird I might start by throwing it a piece of food or by feeding another bird to show them that it's ok, and then gradually encourage it to come closer to me until it's jumping on my shoulder as soon as I open up my door 😅
