Here is a peacock 🦚 for you. Shame that his tail isn’t fanned out though!

Male peacock on a lawn with beautiful tail draped behind him.

Love it Elaine 💕💕 you must be having the time of your life. I have a friend who immigrated to Australia. We were besties at university. I have been asked to go and stay with her in Australia 🇦🇺

She had a fair bit of travel around the world and thinks Australian is the best. I know over there there are crazy wild birds and animals …xx

I feel blessed to be able to come over here Painny. If you can get to Australia I'm sure you would love it. I've never been but they have some beautiful places and wildlife xx

Wow!

[Elaine200756 in reply to Cat00]

I think they really know how to keep animals and birds here Cat. They do a lot of conservation and raising awareness. You should see the zoo! You can walk around where the Orangutans are and see them swinging overhead 😁🥰

[Cat00 in reply to Elaine200756]

Looks wonderful. I lived in Singapore when I was 5, I remember it quite well. Giant butterflies etc. At some point they sprayed the whole island with insecticide and they lost all their migratory birds. Took a while to recover but that was over 40 years ago very different now!

[Elaine200756 in reply to Cat00]

Can't believe they did that Cat. Glad the birds have recovered though xx

[Cat00 in reply to Elaine200756]

Very paranoid about hygiene in Singapore in those days, they used to cut your hair at the airport if it considered unhygienically long!

[Painny in reply to Cat00]

I know my friend who worked as a barrister in Singapore sued a few people for spitting in the street 🤔🤔

[Elaine200756 in reply to Painny]

Yep, there's none of that. And you cannot eat or drink in the MRT Stations or the trains. They're really clean too. I was there when covid first broke out. The response was instant. Every day the buses and trains were deep cleaned and sprayed with disinfectant.

We just got out before lock down, which lasted longer than in Britain, as did the wearing of masks, which was not just in public places but at all times xx

An amazing place ! 🫶

[Elaine200756 in reply to Painny]

It is Painny. So safe and so clean and beautiful xx

[Elaine200756 in reply to Cat00]

I must say its very clean. No rubbish or graffiti in the streets 🤣♥️

[Cat00]

They always had an impressive variety of insects maybe thats why they seem overly concerned with cleanliness. As soon as a property was empty the various creepy crawlies moved in. 😁

[Elaine200756 in reply to Cat00]

Eww! I'm happy to say that there's none of that now. Everything is spotless. I guess in a tropical country you have to be very clean and careful. You can't leave food out or be careless about dropping crumbs etc 😁

[Cat00 in reply to Elaine200756]

I'm sure it's stunning!
