I have a large-ish backyard and the sunflowers attract King Parrot birds. They help me to do the propagation. So I have sunflowers popping up in unexpected places.

Wow! King Parrot birdās are gorgeous. Our prettiest bird that visits our backyard is either the Northern Cardinal or Blue Jays. We have an occasional Cooperās Hawk, but they are beautiful in a whole different way. But, we have nothing to compete with a King Parrot.

Tbh, bees on anything make me happy, but that sunflower is particularly beautiful. My lawn can sometimes have up to 3 different species of bee buzzing around at one time. (Bee diversity is really important apparently!). A bit about Wild bees in UK.

Iāve been under my 200 pound weight goal for two months now. Thatās 90.7 Kilos for our metric friends. Iām eating regular every day foods and the only HMR foods I still use are the shakes. I use two to three of those a day mixed with fruit and sometimes sugar free instant pudding. This morning I weighed in at 193 pounds/87.5 Kilos. Thatās a number I havenāt seen since I was 22 years old. Iāll be 70 in March.
I think Iāve uploaded before and after photos before, but Iām going to put them here so you will have a point of reference. If I can just get rid of that tummy fat now, Iāll be a happy camper.
Remember that I started at 287 pounds/130 Kilos.

Iāve emptied out my closet and given all my old clothes to AMVETS. now Iām buying new clothes to fit the new Dad Bod. I did find some old clothes from way back that fit. I canāt imagine they are 50 years old, but they must be. See, it does pay to never throw anything away.

The sunflower I posted a while ago has developed nice kernels. And the Yellow Crested Cockatoo is enjoying them:
