I love seeeing the wildlife from your part of the planet. It’s so different from here in my US state of Minnesota, where we have about six months of freezing temperatures!

I learned something; I did not know birds could oil their wings! Here there are only a few birds that stick around for the winter. That must be what they do!

Funny to imagine life with feathers and how different our lives and habits would be!

Thank you Jayna, and yes, the weather in Africa is very different, as we are in the Southern Hamisphere, and you guys are in the Northern Hemisphere. The winters here are also much warmer than up north, and South Africa, where we live is at the extreme southern tip of the African continent.

Birds have an oil pot on their backs situated just above the top of the tail, and they can simply swing around to dip their beaks into the pot. When they flip their tail feathers up, they can oil each feather.

Hahaha, just a bit of humor about us having feathers.
