Merry Christmas from the Burra Family

 
My Therapist
Well the year has come to an end. It’s been 6 months since I started this Blog on my family of Kookaburras.

Thanks for your support. 2,000 views from over 20 countries. Wow.

Below are some of my favourite photos this year. At the end there will be video’s if I still have your interest.

Bully Baby - like a rose. Pretty to look at, painful to touch
One determined Bully Baby - when she latches on she doesn't let go
