Grey loeries

Some doodles from my layout pad - thin paper that I have no inhibitions about messing up on and can run riot with strange thoughts and ideas! I don't know why the ugly laughing mouth but the birds are the comical grey loeries that were bobbing around the newly budding jacaranda tree in our garden. They are also known as kwê-voëls (Afrikaans) or Go-away birds due to the noise they make... g'wayyy or kwê... In the bush, their natural habitat they actually seem to warn herds of buck about predators approaching, but here in our suburban garden, they taunt our hapless dog when he wanders out into their domain. How he would love to fly...
