This particular Agile Wallaby mum was a having a little bit of trouble giving her baby a wash ... it's a delightful episode in the life of these creatures.
MUM: OK we’ve finished our dinner, it’s time for your bath!
MUM: First we do behind the ears!
JOEY: Oh get off Mum! It’s clean I tells ya!
MUM: I don’t think so darling, let me see.
MUM: STAY STILL and let me do this!
MUM: Now what about your neck?
JOEY: What about yours, Mum?
MUM: OOh! You little devil, get back here!
MUM: Fine! Fine! You do it yourself then and I’ll look after myself!
JOEY: OK then!
JOEY: Don’t know what she’s goin’ on about!!
I just love your wildlife conversations!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I really like how you captured the whole sequence, and the "narrative" is great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie ... I felt rather privileged to be part of this interlude ... and I was imagining how the conversation might go in human terms.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Gardeningangel ... memories of conversations long ago during bathtime with my own children was the inspiration for the narrative!!
ReplyDeleteOh my...thanks for that, I needed a chuckle. That was simply adorable!
ReplyDeleteBernie, where oh where would we get information and pictures like this if it wasn't for your blog!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine living in a paradise like this with all of the unusual animals and birds.

Glad you enjoyed it Curbstone!! Thanks for visiting again.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and I enjoyed your narrative to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteEileen ... I'm so lucky that these sort of incidents happen right in my own backyard. It is a bit like paradise when you get to see things like this.
ReplyDeleteAfricanaussie ... thanks for your lovely comment and I'm glad you enjoyed the post. The sun is actually out today and it's been out since around 6.30 with not a grey cloud in sight ... could the 'wet' be over??
I just love this!
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures.
