    I think it’s impressive how the Maggie copies even the echos of the sirens. Sounds EXACTLY how the sirens sound when they’re down the street.

Can't believe a year has passed since I commented! Since then she has become more loving and cuddly... when I lay down she enjoys snuggling into my neck, side or back of my legs.

It’s only natural for them to see other animals (including humans) as threats to their nest. We have some that live in the trees around our house in Byford and they are pretty chill. I personally love how they sound when they yodel!
