Yeh can you imagine the work involved. It would be nice to see the picture
alongside the name of the bird but I guess that is too much to ask for.
Yes Jenny, I know exactly what you mean. It was my job to feed any newcomer
(bird) - but I liked it - the birds looked cute with their beaks open....ready
to receive the ground gram mashed with water (also my job)... I'm sure I did my
job right as they grew very quickly.

2008 13:07:10 -0500From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] my Goodness! Dad was working on a
series of local birds - including those from the fountain I believe, when he
had the fall that landed him in a nursing home. That was a couple of years ago
and marked the beginning of the end for him, so to speak... He did continue
these paintings in his new 'home' but the light kinda went out of him from then
on.He did these birds in water colors and made sets of them for each of us.
Very recently I was showing the ones I have to my son. Dad has hand written the
common name and the scientific name (of those that he could find) at the base
of each picture.How interesting that a young soul of the village should take
the time and trouble to document the same treasure!Love to all,Jenny
(Saldanha)P.S. to Annette:Our Dad, like yours, was crazy about wild life,
especially birds and in similar fashion was perpetually adopting baby bulbuls
and Mynas that he would painstakingly feed at the table with a dropper! He'd
stuff too much food into their mouths and they'd shake their heads sending the
stuff flying all over the dining room and on to any on-lookers!-----Original

Thanks Rico, Wouldn't it be great if we had a chart
which had images of these birds alongside the
birdnames and then maybe other details. It would make
the beginning of a visual map of birdlife in Saligao.
