That loose crochet pattern could also be used to snare unsuspecting jungle fauna.
Trust me, behind every charitable act there's an underlying evil. Withnall you terrible bastard.
Good work by the mrs though....

How long did it take to bosh up that mock nest?
She did it overnight, whilst i was sparked out on the sofa.
The mrs, being a fellow Dr Dolittle type, is suitably impressed.
Busted.
Like the mother bird, you, too, have mouths to feed.
Great news.
Mum has returned to the new mansion, and settled in for the night with young Singalongamax.
She looks a lot more comfortable than she has done these last few nights.
I don't think i'll risk a flash photo though, don't want to spook her.
Now that's she's experienced luxury she'll never go back to living in a regular nest.
Wait 'till tomorrow.Originally Posted by robuzo
I might install a bathroom.
^Start selling timeshares.
/\ /\ That's a Pisser!
I have just checked the mansion.
Mum is still in it.
I declare the rebuild a success.
Who'd have thought that with all the messing around with the nest and me manhandling the chick that the mothers bond to her young would prevail.
Hats off to dad as well - he continued feeding Singalong all day yesterday.

This one didn't make it...hit my wall I suppose...Looks like a big hummingbird.
Shame that.
She is a mature female (long beak, long tail).
you'd think the females would have the shorter tail, to stop the chaffinch
Yea, I can't control nature. I suppose she was chasing a bug and thought the window was open reflection of herself...lots of baby chicks falling out of nests around here. They have nested on my roof top and the fall is about 11 meters. No chance of survival.
Didn't realize it Wither's, this bird is the same species as yours. Sorry about that. No harm intended.

Spider Hunter? No spiders here, the gecko's have them rounded up. The liquid that came out was clear not blood red...Lizards are in mating season around here now as well..all puffed up red bellies, making head gestures and the ladies lying dormant waiting for his pounce...
Spiderhunter is just the name (latin: arachnothera longirostra). They feed on nectar and small invertebrates, not just spiders.
