The bird house

We have a lot of Rainbow lorikeets in our garden. Amelia loves looking at them.
They always come when we are eating on the deck


I feed the other birds left over bread but the lorikeets shoo them away and eat it too!!!

Claude bought a bird house at the Eumundi market. He took a long time to choose it. Daniel, Margaret and I went for a walk and when we came back he still had not chosen one.There was so many and all were a bit different. Ours has a corrugated roof and a chimney, some branches with some kind of nuts.
Some birds had a look and see but no bird move in....One day I thought I saw something in it. I got the binoculars .....and there was a possum in it. He stayed there few weeks until Claude mulched some branches and the noise drove him away. Anyway he was quite squashed in there

Claude thought that the opening was too big, so he made it smaller, but the next day something had try to make it bigger by chewing around the hole.!



We still have a lot of birds around but none in our bird house.
On Saturday at the garden festival we saw some possum house. We are going to build one and maybe the possum in our roof will like it and move in the box and out of our roof.
