Just a quick thought before I head off to bed…
Not everything we hear (and could that be ‘read on the Internet‘?) is as it seems. Not everything we read or hear is true…sometimes it may be close to the truth, it may sound like the truth yet not be the whole truth. We can learn such a simple lesson from creation.
Chook is a lyrebird at the Adelaide Zoo where much construction work has been done recently and Chook has picked up many of the machine sounds.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;

The zoo keepers can hear the following sounds:
1. Hammer
2. Chainsaw
3. Jack hammer
4. Lawn mower hitting sticks
5. Leaf blower starting
6. Power drill
7. Wood saw
8. Human voices
9. Two-way radio
10.Worker whistling
What can you hear?

Fabulous!!
The Eleanor Roosevelt quote is excellent. And if those ideas are of God and his creation…even better!
The Lyre bird does show us that all is not as it seems. Thanks Susan.
Have a great weekend.
Hi Ruby,
Oh I plan to, especially this weekend.
A lyre bird called Chook – now I’ve heard it all! Thanks for sharing this – I remember seeing one at Melbourne Zoo once and I couldn’t believe the sounds coming out of this amazing little bird. Bella just watched the clip with me and thought his tail was pretty neat!

He is amazing, isn’t he? Whenever we’ve gone to the Adelaide Zoo I’ve watched out for the lyre birds. I’ve seen them but not heard them- but now I’m rethinking that. Maybe I did hear them but not realise it.
