Fleur, you're the Crocodile Dundee of the Clubhouse!

What a magnificent animal. The 'roo is pretty cool too...

started singing light codes & heart speak, that was really cool as they don't really like you too close (these are real wild ones, he's an Eastern Grey & the bull of the family)... but he kept an eye out & let me in, when I paused he realised how close I was & lined me up , I explained I was going to hang the washing out & then if he didn't mind I'd go & get my camera & take a pic as "you're so handsome"... continued with the coding & he completely chilled... then I sang him a medley piece Paul & I do as Eb'n'Flo... he just let me in close like I was part of his crew, I love hanging the washing out!!

what did you sing to him??

He's a big fella a little hard to tell from this shot but here relaxed & upright over 6 ft, then he stood even more erect & grew another ft, missed that shot a little pre occupied with his next movements I was pretty close, & they're pretty territorial at this time of year...
I was hanging out the washing to encourage the looming thunder clouds (to no avail) & couldn't resist a couple of snaps, he lined me up to begin with, so I sang to him, after that he just let me be, we were really quite close (in prox) for ages...20 min at least...superb creature!
