A mug for our hosts

When we visited the Christmas shop in Toodyay, Western Australia, I saw this coffee mug and couldn’t resist buying it for the couple where we’re house-sitting.
They have a pet sulphur-crested cockatoo called Jimmy and lots of bird and cockatoo memorabilia in the house. And now they have a cockatoo on a coffee mug as well.
We actually saw four wild sulphur-crested cockatoos yesterday. There are dozens of pink and grey galahs but you don’t often see the cockatoos.
And before you ask, I googled and a galah is a type of cockatoo but different enough to have its own species.
I'll try again later to add the photo.

Sadly, no photo as of yet. I know myLot has been having lots of issues with photos lately.
It always amazes me when you start to study species of animals and realize how many subspecies of that particular animal there are. It just goes to show the amazing diversity of life on planet Earth.

@JudyEv I’ll try to upload a photo 2-3 times, and if it doesn’t load then, I give up and move on. Haha

Mugs are good tokens. I've also have some mugs given to me as tokens from some people. I use some of them snd the others I just put on display.

@JudyEv That's true and if you decide to just keep them they will last for years

I just tried to add it here but that didn't work either.
I'm sure they'll appreciate the mug.

can't see the mug. I did some Christmas shopping a few days ago. I got a calendar for my best friend and some cat bowls for my boyfriend's kitten.

It takes me as many as 6 tries to get a photo to take. I hope to see yours soon. Have a wonderful day.

@JudyEv I think it's great to see something that you really like and buy it. I have to have things jump out at me. Lol.

You are blessed to see those creatures over there. My brother is planning to work in Australia. His target month is November. I don't know where in Australia.

@WorDazza The Christmas shop is more about Christmas decor from table runners/cloths/serviettes to streamers and ornaments and all the other once-a-year paraphanalia - which you probably guessed but you were just stirring me up!! Admit it now. Isn't that the case??

Try and keep up. There is no connection, just that the coffee mug was in the Christmas shop. They had quite a lot of non-Christmas items too. At least it enticed me to buy something. I don't really need any Christmas stuff although I did go back later and bought a pack of Salvation Army Christmas cards.
