Magnificent Lyre Bird


This is a truly amazing bird. The Lyre bird can copy many other species of bird's song. What's more, it is can copy other man made sounds that it hears! This clip captures among others, its impression of a car alarm, a camera and a chainsaw!!
He also has gorgeous plumage.

More Beavers

Ouch! Painfully cute!!!

Baby Beavers

Stinky?

I don't think I've seen one in the flesh, but skunks are super cute.
Upset them though and you could depart from your altercation a bit whiffy....

Small and Furry...

 ...but technically not a small furry. My favourite dog at the minute nonetheless. And sporting a fetching jumper.

I know how she feels...

Sleepy

I love the way he's sleeping with his wrists tucked in.

Capybara

This little cutie is a Capybara, a close relation to the guinea pig. Like guinea pigs, the originate in south American countries like Peru. Can you imagine having a dog sized guinea pig? Wow!!

Super Bun!

This is me with my sister's giant lop, Dexter. This was last Spring and I have to say, he is EVEN bigger now!

What, what, what what????

I do love otters. I'm reading Ring of Bright Water at the moment by Gavin Maxwell. You may be familiar with the film. It is the story of a man living in a remote area of Scotland with his pet otter, Mij. I'd love a pet otter, but Mij sounds like a bit of a handful to say the least!

Baby Woodpecker

Technically not a small furry in the small furry sense but it is super cute. My partner Stuart told me a story about when he once found a baby woodpecker in a busy Glasgow street. The bird rescue centre said he was very, very rare in Scotland.

Pig in a Paper Hat

This is my piggy, Buttercup. I made an origami paper hat for her.  I think it suits her.

Peek!

Hello? What's this all about?

I love small furries. By small furries I mean small animals, particularly guinea pigs. I have two girls, Bosshog and Buttercup.
Bosshog Left, Buttecup Right
But I love other small animals, domestic and wild. Rabbits, otters, badgers, anything quadruped and cute.
I love reading about animals and looking at pictures of them. Sometimes I come across images which are just too cute and gorgeous and have to be shared! This blog is just for that. A place for me to get my cute animal picture fix :-)
So on with the blog and a couple of pictures that I came across today of cute animals.
Hug me, I'm a sea otter
So if you like small furries and have small furries chat, why not join in?! I'll be back soon with more animal cuteness.
