David Attenborough eat your heart out

I'm sat here like David Attenborough, laying on the bed very still, whilst just outside the window, about 1 meter away, two Kangaroos are in the garden! They both know I am here, but don't mind so long as I don't make any sudden movements. One is so relaxed he has decided to have a little lay down and the other is watching a lorakeet who is sat on the fence behind. A lorakeet is a bird, like a parrot, all greens and reds and yellows, they are very noisy, sociable, cheeky birds.

Every so often the roo watching the fence will become alert and raise himself up like a meercat, long thin arms hanging loosely before him. The other is just grooming himself and scratching behind his ear with his big powerful hind legs. Their faces and ears are a bit like rabbits and I guess their bodies and colouring are a bit like deer. When they move slowly around, they place their front feet on the ground and then jump forward, like the final part of a sun salutation, they are masters of yoga! Unfortunately their tails are like huge rats tails (i think because they are so long). They also have huge black eyes with beautiful long eyelashes... now they are playing, i think they are both young, one swipes the other with his long arms and the other swats him away (I guess this is kangaroo boxing) and now they stand up on hind legs and bound away, jumping on powerful back legs, as if propelled by springs.

All is quiet in the house as the guys have gone surfing and I decided to stay at home, to go for a walk to the local beach and maybe read my book... peace, love and kangaroos!!

Oh god, literally peace, LOVE and kangaroos... they are back and the boy kangaroo has just jumped on the girl kangaroo and now I don't feel quite so David Attenborough but a bit more like sitting on the couch watching David Attenborough with parents... wow... kangaroos take ages to...ahem...mate... and interestingly the girl kangaroo looks really bored and is chewing grass...hmmm... infact she has just managed to kick him off... I think she has a headache!!!
