 $8.99 | This story is based upon a relationship between a bird and rainforest termites. In Papua New Guinea, during the month of November, the tiny Buff-breasted Paradise-Kingfisher prepares to return to its birthplace to breed. Only certain locations along the North Queensland coast offer suitable habitat. Using its amazing navigational skills, it flies the long distance required with the aid of a northerly wind.
Soon after reaching its destination and finding a mate, they both search for a perfect nest site. It must be a terrestrial termite mound with an active colony of rainforest termites.
Oh! The wonders of nature.

 $8.99 | Crazy Bird Stories: Prepare yourself for Strange Birds Behaving in Strange Ways Book 1 PaperbackBy: (Author) The aim of this book is to introduce to birds through entertainment and education. Having fun with birds in these twelve humorous, catchy and 'crazy' short stories will hopefully cement an impression in the mind of each child that will remain with them as they develop and grow. I have observed that reading to small children is most important and that it can sow a seed for the future. When children are older and can read for themselves they can then enjoy the 'crazy' stories and discover some interesting facts about a 'real' bird that is related to the fictitious one. This introduction to birds will hopefully encourage children and parents alike to seek and discover more about the large range of birds species that Australia and this planet of ours, have to offer.
Since relocating from Coleraine in Western Victoria to Mackay in North Central Queensland in 1996, I soon discovered a diverse range of habitats including bushland, wetland, rainforest and beaches, all within an eighty-kilometer radius of the town. Of the many bird species that I've observed here, I selected twelve to feature in this book. |

Desde que en 1996 me trasladé de Coleraine, en el oeste de Victoria, a Mackay, en el centro-norte de Queensland, pronto descubrí una gran diversidad de hábitats, como matorrales, humedales, selvas tropicales y playas, todos ellos en un radio de ochenta kilómetros de la ciudad. De las muchas especies de aves que he observado aquí, he seleccionado doce para incluirlas en este libro.
Me inicié en el mundo de las aves en febrero de 2008, cuando observé a los Alción colilargo pechianteado alimentar a sus polluelos. Fue entonces cuando empecé a escribir poemas sobre mis experiencias vitales. A medida que crecía mi interés por las aves, escribir historias rimadas sobre ellas fue una progresión obvia y me ha llevado a este, mi primer libro. |

This book is the first step in the revelation of you and how you became the you that exists today. I incorporate our history, philosophes of religions, political, social allegiances and the ongoing path of our desperate inner desire to fight. I explain how we discovered that we create our existences through our emotional reactions to everyone and everything in our environment. I uncover the true yin/yang of our existences and our karmic resolutions in each lifetime. By revealing how you created every intricate component of your ongoing existences I am able to explain your immortality and the continuums of your ongoing non-physical existences. This information unearths a personal power that we have never experienced before; it empowers us with the truth, self-empowerment and self-love.
I unveil our endless historical paths of victimisation and how by choosing not to be our brother’s keeper we attain choices to empower ourselves and not participate. We then allow them to make the same choices for themselves in their own time, this is true Equality. I explain how we uncovered the misinterpretations taught in the past about the traumatic paths of losing loved ones. I reveal the diabolical paths of murder, war, paedophilia, mental and physical narcissistic abuse and how by recognising your emotional reactions to any altercation you have a power not to create the same violence for your next existence, you can alter the entire path. This is your journey. This entire experience is all about you. You have to experience all the imperfections of each existence to appreciate and understand their perfections. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, your first step to real self-empowerment and self-love. |

 $10.00-$15.00 | Suddenly, I found myself being sucked up toward the cargo bay doors, so I grabbed hold of the nearest steel tie ring on the floor. The tie rings looked to be about two inches in diameter. I struggled, trying not to get sucked up through the opening cargo bay doors. I was hit in the leg by a box, which almost made me lose my grip on the floor ring. I kicked the box away; it struck the floor and flew open. I looked inside and found what looked like a spacesuit. I grabbed it and put it on. Hopefully, I could get out of the cargo bay alive and catch a ride back to the ship even though I didn’t have that box. Putting the suit on without getting sucked out of the cargo bay doors was a major problem. I put my foot through a floor ring, anchoring myself to the floor. Struggling into the spacesuit, I found it was too tight. Working frantically, I took off my uniform and put the spacesuit back on. It was a tight fit, but it would work. I looked around for the helmet, and I did not see it anywhere. As I looked up toward the doors in the ceiling, I did notice something shiny. I focused on the shiny small object, which I fervently hoped was the helmet to the suit I was wearing. |
