How To Train A Dragon



The Water Dragon lives around creeks and rivers on the East Coast of Australia and is usually fairly timid, eating small animals and insects and occasional fruit. 
But when this particular dragon 
stumbled upon the "good life", 
the rules changed. 

This guy, who we'll call "Drogo" watched us carefully for many months from his hiding places in the garden. Then one hot summer morning, the swimming pool became too much to resist. 

From that moment, he became a "Pool" Dragon (lizardus entitleus). Insects were replaced by tropical fruit  the garden rocks were no longer his resting place, preferring the warm tiled pool surrounds.
The Australian description "flat out like a lizard drinking" became his.

The Good Life for a Lizard

Flat out like a lizard drinking









Drogo has become 
completely tame. 
Honey I'm Home
The treats we give him, e.g. banana, apple, grapes, boiled egg, and crickets, are supplemented with food he catches in the wild. He's a very friendly little animal. 
In fact sometimes a little too friendly, and walks straight through the door to join us.

Living with a King

Image
Australian King Parrots ( Alisterus scapularis)  Despite their size, they are known to be among the more quiet parrot species and tend to not scream as much as other large birds like Macaws. Instead, they tend to pleasantly vocalize with whistles and chatter.  When properly socialized and motivated, Australian King Parrots can learn to talk, but they are not especially noted for remarkable speaking ability. In captivity, Australian King Parrots live an average of 25 to 30 years with proper care. Being large birds, they need plenty of room to exercise. They love to climb, swing, and chew, so a very large cage with plenty of safe toys is the optimum environment for them.  Although they generally don't crave human interaction as much as some other parrot species, they still require a minimum of 3 to 4 hours of supervised out-of-cage playtime per day. This should take place in a large "bird-proof" area of your home, as Australian King Parrots are very cur

The Million Dollar Bird Flock

Image
  I was amazed to come across a huge flock of Corellas on my walk back to my Hotel at Caves Beach. There must have been about one thousand grazing on a field of flowers. (Watch video above). These a well known in Australia and offered as pets at about $1000, for a suitably reared and innoculated pet bird. I was looking at a bird flock that looked like a million bucks! The Little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea) is one of the small species of cockatoo.  It’s feathers are white, a small rim of pink-orange feathers around the bill and yellow feathers under the wings. The bill and feet are bone-colored. The crest is small and white. The blueish naked patch around the eye is much bigger than in other species. 

 This species is one of the most common species of cockatoos in the wild. It occurs in Australia, mostly on open fields and is increasingly common in urban and agricultural areas. This species is one of the few species of animals that thrives because of human i

Searched for Nemo, but found a giant instead.

I went in search of Nemo  and found, instead this 30 year old Giant Gourami.   What an amazing fish. This one is at  Hi-Tek Aquariums   in Brookvale.  He must have weighed several kilos and about a half metre in length. He was very well cared for in a several metres long, densely planted edges, with room left in the centre of the tank for him to swim. I am told that Giant Gouramis are no longer imported to Australia, so this was a rare sight, and worth visiting Hi-Tek Aquariums just to see this fellow. There a several other species of Gouramis available that are suited to a tank and are easy to keep. They can grow rapidly given sufficient food and space to move. Even under less than ideal conditions, gourami can grow from 7.5 cm to 50 cm in four years.  Like most aquarium dwellers, gouramis can be quickly raised with larger, more passive fish.  Gouramis tend towards herbivory, preferring algae-based foods, but will eat meaty foods. An algae-based flake food, along with free
