WPC Order: Pecking Order – Dis Ekke
Date: 2017-06-08Author: HesterLeyNel 28 Kommentare	ORDER: The state in which people behave properly, follow rules or laws, and respect authority (Merriam-Webster).
In our garden of long ago, this cocky little Pin-tailed Whydah which we named the “Sheriff”, used to keep good order at mealtimes. With his long tail feathers fully extended in the upright position, he kept his “underlings” at a respectful distance while he ate his fill. Only once he left the dinner table, were the other feathered garden residents at liberty to join in the feast.

Antwoord	Tokeloshe sê:	2017-06-13 om 8:39 nm	Sjoe, dis pragtig! Ek ken glad nie die voëls nie. Dit neem seker ‘n lang tyd om soveel voëls te lok.
Antwoord	HesterLeyNel sê:	2017-06-14 om 10:14 vm	Nee, hulle kom redelik gou agter waar daar kos gegee word. Die meeste van hulle het nie in ons bome nes gemaak nie, maar in die rietbos by die bure langsaan. Hulle het net elke dag die restaurant kom besoek 😀 LikeLiked by 2 people
Antwoord	trommeltjies sê:	2017-06-13 om 8:09 vm	Daardie koningin rooibekkie is die spreekwoirdelike ” klein botteltjie met die groot gif”. Waar hy inkom regeer hy al wat voel is ek gryp vir homself die heel beste.
Antwoord	HesterLeyNel sê:	2017-06-13 om 8:37 vm	Hy was ‘n regte kaartmannetjie en het sommer by ons skuifdeure kom aankondig wanneer dit volgens hom etenstyd is. Hy is een van ons mooiste herinneringe.
Antwoord	aj vosse sê:	2017-06-10 om 4:10 nm	Tipies, die mansmens hou die hele plek onder beheer… maar, sodra hy sy rug draai ontaard dinge… sleg! Wha ha HAAA!! 😈
Antwoord	HesterLeyNel sê:	2017-06-10 om 6:14 nm	Tsk, tsk, mans word so maklik om die bos gelei, geen wonder hulle glo hulle is in beheer nie …
Antwoord	aj vosse sê:	2017-06-10 om 6:23 nm	Ja ja… ons laat julle regeer, met ons toestemming! 😉
HesterLeyNel sê:	2017-06-10 om 6:36 nm	Presies net so!

Antwoord	Terug pieng: Order in Rows | What's (in) the picture? Aspaai sê:	2017-06-08 om 9:02 nm	Pragtige fotos en ń mooi les wat ek inderdaad sal onthou. Ek verlang nou ook sommer na Gauteng, die dae toe ons nog ń groen grasperk gehad het….
Antwoord	HesterLeyNel sê:	2017-06-09 om 10:31 vm	Jip, grasperke en ‘n groot tuin was ‘n lekkerte in Gauteng, maar dis ook baie werk. LikeLiked by 1 person

Antwoord	perdebytjie sê:	2017-06-08 om 8:18 nm	Dis ‘n ware parmant en veelwywer….laat my dink aan iemand😂
Antwoord	HesterLeyNel sê:	2017-06-09 om 10:48 vm	Dis niemand wat ons persoonlik ken nie, of hoe? 😀 Ek het gister nogal aan jou gedink toe ek die fotos opgelaai het. Ons het verlede jaar oor hulle gesels na aanleiding van een van jou blogs en ek het hierdie fotos vir jou gewys.
Antwoord	perdebytjie sê:	2017-06-09 om 12:40 nm	Ja dis reg…ek het ‘n foto van ‘n pylstertrooibekkie geplaas,toe het jy gedink dis dieselfde as die koningrooibekkie op jou foto…die twee lyk so baie na mekaar.
Gelukig ken ons hom nie persoonlik nie,maar hy is ‘n veelwywer en verdeel ons geldjies op ‘n parmantige manier aan sy tjomme….Z 😜😂

Antwoord	HesterLeyNel sê:	2017-06-08 om 6:58 nm	‘n Taamlike desperate een, haha. Ek het ‘n vrot verkoue en wil net my kop toetrek onder my bêrsie.
