@south-africa-official! the guineaflings, they live!
they now have a little routine of coming through my house, taking advantage of my dog's water bowl, cooler temperatures inside, & the shade on the deck. my dog just lays there sleeping on the cold tile floor, she could not care less, while the parents coo & the keets walk a little more warily past her (same goes when we walk by them resting in the bushes).
i've also never seen birds so small & so young jump so high! i watched them just vertically spring up the tall pines, up to where their parents were settling in for the night roost.
the jackal buzzard pair is also collecting nesting material, taking it down quite close on this side of the gorge, & also saw one of the juvenile/immature african fish eagles returned to the area...for now, at least, until the breeding pair probably chase it off again.
