We have an injured #Tauhou in the garden. One wing appears to be short a few feathers and at the ‘elbow’ joint there is tissue damage. It doesn’t stop it from flying, but it doesn’t fly far.

Earlier this morning when I was replacing one of the feeders it chose to remain on one of the others, within arm’s reach. And just now when doing another top-up it perched on the same branch, within centimetres of my hands. It didn’t seem at all worried. 😌

I just posted an animated gif to #iNaturalist of the hoard of silvereyes (tauhou) that visit our sugar water feeders every morning. So many little sugar junkies.
