It's for the birds

Thanks for you patience, the internet connection has improved so I will update all of you on the past week's events.

One thing I have noticed while is Australia are the birds. It's interesting waking up to different sounds in the morning and seeing birds in the wild that in Canada we would normally keep as pets. But what has surprised me is that I see the birds everywhere, not just outside but in stores, restaurants and airports.

The first time I saw these very outgoing birds was in downtown Melbourne. After a day of walking around the city I went to a Hungry Jack's (like I said in a previous blog entry). But what I didn't tell you was that on the second floor of the Hungry Jack's there were "sparrows" jumping around. No one seemed to take any notice of them, it was totally normal. The second time was while I was at Target, birds were flying around everywhere. Okay I'm used to that, Home Depot back home has birds flying everywhere, but this Target was in a shopping mall. The last place which surprised me the most was the Melbourne airport. I was there getting ready to fly to the Outback and as I was eating my breakfast (Hungry Jack's) these little birds were hopping around. Something is in the water here to make these little guys are so outgoing!
