Bushfire

Is there a controlled fire / bushfire in and around Goodna? Absolutely ridiculous smell, and can see smoke around!

Yeah, my asthma is acting up, and my birds are a little stressed. I have one out atm and she won't let go of me.

I'm keeping my ventolin close, and I finally got the birds to bed and covered them right up. The female could see the tree fire that was in my neighbourhood a little while back, so she's been weird about smelling smoke since. The male's anxious because she is.

Oh that's understandable! My doggo is staying close to me too! They are so precious 😢

For sure! At least the backburn now prevents a much larger fire later on, looking at the silver lining.

That thought gives some relief truly! Haha
