Loedi and the coco’s birds

Do you know the coco’s birds? No ? Have you never seen one in the sky of Paris ?

What a pity… they are so incredible!

Let me explain how Loedi does it. If you follow these tips…. maybe you will see them one day!

First, you should know that coco’s birds hate cold and bad weather. In Paris… this limits the opportunities, but don’t despair: the best time of the year is in July and August, during those two to three weeks of heat wave, when we dream of a cocktail on a beach surrounded by coconut trees… and we have nothing else but our dear Haussmann buildings.

Secondly, to optimise your chances, you should know that coco’s birds are great gourmets: they love fruit of all colours, preferably ripe. They can eat a lot in no time! If you want to have the chance to see them up close, do like Loedi and bait them with a huge basket of fruit!

Third and last important point, coco’s birds have only one leg and two very large wings. They are therefore not very agile and cannot land anywhere without damaging their delicate wings. To make them want to land next to you, add some long and stable poles near the fruit basket to give them an ideal perch. Like Loedi, you can also opt for real coconut trunks, but this is a little more difficult to set up.

Now that you know everything… think of climbing on the roofs of Paris next summer and discovering the coco’s birds!

They are unique to us and we love them so much

The joys of spring

“A garden, even a small one, is the gateway to heaven !” _ Marie Angel

 

With the return of warmer weather, it’s time to plant again!

This year, beans are in the spotlight, alongside tomatoes, peppers and nasturtiums!

They will soon take place next to the strawberry, oregano and lemon grass plants, at the feet of the raspberry, mulberry and myrtle trees!

And you, what have you planted this year?

The “Sahayak” or helper in hindi

This is the first animation of a small series on the characters that cannot be ignored in Indian railway stations.

The luggage carrier is easily recognizable with his red shirt and his cotton scarf carelessly put on the shoulder, waiting to be rolled up on the head like a shock absorber between the skull and the luggage.

No trolley… the Sahayak carries everything with his arms and especially with his head! Always looking for a new customer, he never shies away from the task even in the heart of the hot season.

How brave !
