Stromboli Animals At Stromboli's we have animals who are pets and mean so much to their owners and we have our "wild life", such as garden birds, guinea fowl, peacocks (who are both loved and hated), monkeys (who are a great nuisance), Peter the crow who has a damaged leg and has become quite tame and we have even had a "dassie" for a while. It is always a contentious issue when wild life becomes a nuisance as there are those who want them to go and those who want them to stay. There are vaild arguments for both sides and at times it comes down to a vote among residents before action can be taken. |

 Toby has to have the first spot as he looks to gorgoeous posing on "Sweetpea", the purple Uno. Toby was taken in as a kitten rescued from the road - he moved into the Frailcare and has now "adopted" Thyrza Golin who is accompanied by Toby every day when she goes for her walk.  Our male peacock was particularly beautiful this year but has been re-located to Bluehills Bird Farm as a result of a majority vote to this effect. Recently (Oct 11) it seems a new young male has moved in with three females. So much for trying to tell "wild life" where to live! |
 The Stromboli sunbirds are thoroughly spoilt and enjoy their "sunbird pubs" in many of the gardens.  Weaver birds know where to find a hearty meal.  This fat thrush is thoroughly enjoying a feast of macadamian nut waste, which is also popular with the Cape Robin and the Wagtails. |
