Short story - Last trip to Africa and this bird always hangs around the house and sleeps in a huge elephant tree in the backyard. On this morning, he was nowhere to be found. Silence and sadness in the cold morning air.

The boerboels seemed to get the better part of him. BUT - Much to my delight I think he is part feline since he was found on life #2! Yipppeeee!!!! Stuck in the bushes beyond the veggie garden but developed a limp since his leg was now broken.

Ouma the "lifetime nurse" managed to grab him and she used what she had as typical to fix up his leg. Stick and some tape out of the kitchen drawer will do the trick.

Sucess.

Enjoyed the story. The bill seems a bit short compared to how I remember the Hadeda.

Great story, nice bit of medical aid and a wonderful shot of it all Brian. Not the typical post and that makes all that much better.

Last trip to Africa Now there's a phrase I'm jealous of!

An interesting bird- with beautifully colored feathers.
And an excellent image, Brian.
Love the backstory, too.
