Some of my neighbours…

There is a range of creatures living in the park next to our place… possums, kookaburras, parrots, as well as the below cockatoos and flying foxes (fruit bats). My New Caledonian friends love the fruit bats too…. for lunch or dinner! Here in Australia they are a protected species. I did have one for dinner once in Vanuatu, and I think it is safe to say that it also was the last time. I love them, they are beautiful (although you should never park your car under a tree full of them if you don't want to see the paint disappear!).
