You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

That's an old favorite. Sadly not so much on my approved diet plan anymore. But dinner and desert in one nevertheless.
Meanwhile I shared a plate of Nachos with the Missus.

I have to agree with you Kiwi 100% I'm a bit of a Dr. Dolittle myself. As you know we don't have squirrels in NZ.
My day begins by feeding my granddaughters rabbit and 2 cats left with me.
The cats don't even bother the birds
They gather at the back door waiting for me every morning. 😹😹🐇 🐦

Tui are native to New Zealand and are predominantly nectar feeders. Mid winter they appreciate a little sweet water to see them through when flowers are scarce.

I heard a loud thud from the kitchen. Outside on the deck a fledgling Tui lay knocked out cold so I place it on the kitchen window sill where it sat contemplating what had just happened and probably wondering why the stars were out during daylight hours.
20 minutes later it stretched and flew
away😇

I came across a healthy grove of Nikau Palm providing food and habitat for native birds. The Nikau Palm has a significant cultural and emotional attachment to the Maori people of New Zealand.
For youngsters the dried base of the frond makes an excellent downhill toboggan on grassy slopes😃

From here I'm gonna guess it's a climbing rose called iceberg. A great choice for a garden arch. Lightly fragrant and repeat flowering.
