Re: My Newly Built Bird Feeder
We have some in our garden,
We have 28 varieties of birds during the year, The antics of them are quite funny, A lot like humans sometimes.
I have to feed them every morning with a big bowl of anything. they eat anything you put out, Even a Curry I didnt like I have put out and that has soon gone.
Cheers
Brian

Re: My Newly Built Bird Feeder
hi Vernon. I think you have been watching that advert where the little girl asks her dad to build her a tree house. a definite resemblance. do you get the western Stanley lot of yellow in it also the crimson, a lot bigger than the normal rosella. I used to breed them and had a Stanley as a pet, also a magpie and a barn owl.

Re: My Newly Built Bird Feeder
Hi shipmates, Hi Doc,We have all them birds here in Cardiff and plenty of others you dont have ??? we have a dodo and a tasmainia tiger But not in the wild ? in glass cases in the Museum. we have some cockatoos { not big ones} for sale in local pet shop ? We have very exotic roadies, and seagulls , that live on the rubbish... The bird feeder you made is a work of art, i am sure Captain Kong would make a fortune in rent, if you make him one for his garden in Boltan he would soon sublet to a nice family with the added bonus of free curry.
