Unfortunately the Cockatoos can be aggressive ...they want to be fed when it suits them or they get destructive. <br />We have had to stop feeding at the moment and the only cure is to put rubber snakes around that deter the bird life..... We are so sad and upset..as the Lorikeets and other lovely birds now suffer. I do hope we can resume feeding the small birds again soon.<br /><br />Wendy..We need Rusty here for a week or two...LOL. Cockatoos are ok in cages but in the wild they can get very pushy.... <br /><br />Hi Lene. i have scanned the shader brushes for you in a new post. <br />I have only seen Roymac that make them. They are brilliant little brushes for shading...flat and short... has to be the #4 though. which I cannot get..they are so hard for some reason to get.<br />The #6 is no where near as good in size. Maybe I can reshape it to be smaller. <br />If you try Dick Blick..they may have the #4<br /> If you can get one Lene. you will be so thrilled with it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01320818718820284581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828242872490471698.post-47622733780370840432011-02-06T22:22:22.868+11:002011-02-06T22:22:22.868+11:00thank Dors - even I don't know what a shaperbr...thank Dors - even I don't know what a shaperbrush is.

It sounds like some of our bird feeding problems only with us it is the squirrels. They will come and clean up the bird seed and suet in a minute and they can get very pushy when not being feed. Fortunately our little dog, Rusty, will give chase to them and they are gone in a minute. <br />Despite all your problems your picture is really great.Wendy Mould AFCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556421340119828099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828242872490471698.post-84894345399515902592011-02-06T13:18:07.530+11:002011-02-06T13:18:07.530+11:00Hi Dors,

I use a few tools in blending the graphite. mostly a Roymac shaper brush #4 but they are so hard to get now that I have had to purchase a #6. sometimes a chamios cloth, stumps.<br /><br />You have given me an idea Lene. ;) <br /><br />I will do a posting with a photo of all the tools I use for graphite. Maybe others will do the same.
