Teddy-Toms Family Returns

butcherbirds in conference  Teddy-Tommy are Butch and Cass's 2nd set of twins (born 2004, they are a year older than Dimpy).  They were the cutest and cheekiest of their kids.  Under watchful eyes of their older siblings Eddie-Freddy the Teddy-Toms pair delighted us for hours each day as they frolicked around our yard. 

As young adults they left home and created their own territory on the other side of the hill, not far from here.  This is the third year that they've returned in winter months with their young family for a share of their favourite foods.   Their arrival  is always accompanied by much negotiation with their parents in previous years and this year with their siblings Freddy and Jerry.  Larry and Harry too have much to say to this cheeky gang, who think they own the world, but are too cute (and clever) to refuse.
