Love living in a small town!

Was just outside having a smoke and heard this bird crash land and start flapping around on the ground. Maha got the trusty torch out and we spy a Tui in some distress on the ground. I went to pick it up, it was on its back flaping around. Finally managed to pick it up and put in a box in the hotwater cupboard. Ring the local vet who tells me I am speshhhal as not too many people can claim to have a Tui in their hotwater cupboard! He will keep!

His diagnosis, a pissed Tui, bring it down and I will look after it for you. We took it down to his clinic, and yes diagnosis confrimed this little sucker is off his chops for sure...LOL. He will ring us when the bird is sober, to come collect it and release back where we found it. Apparently they are territorial.

Small towns rock! Here is a vet that will care for a bird for free, make bad jokes about it and me

and have music playing in his clinic to entice me back to the band!

Watching hair cuts must be shit loads better than watching paint dry though doncha think?

Just as well you got to master the skill and patience of watching something so slow when you were young, otherwise you would get so frustrated now watching your brother ride.
