- My poor garden has been ruined by floods in Brisbane. The rain belted down and water rose so fast. All the bark ended up in the back corner of the garden and my garden statues went with it. The sprinkler system is all over the place. This will take a long time to sort out.
- That is one driven bird! Please keep us informed........ on your laundry and bathroom and Bob.
- Here is Bob, Minister of Silly Walks, strutting his stuff.
- His antics are so enjoyable especially when I have my first cuppa of the morning on the verandah at sunrise and watch his scurrying here and there with beakfulls of "contraband".
- Bob the Builder!
- Omg I love Bob!! 😄😄🥰🥰
- OMG, isn't nature wonderful (yes, really). More clever than most men I know !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
- This is the container of items retrieved from Bob's Bower. Note the fasten down lid and yet Bob was dexterous enough to get it opened.There were over 60 items retrieved. I am imagining the number of back and forth trips needed to steal each item.
- An update on the Greater Bower Bird whose bower is just twenty feet from our front verandah.Back in August 2021 I wrote of our resident Greater Bower Bird's antics in "thievery" and his ability to raid our new laundry/ second shower and second toilet building site for suitable decorations for his bower.Well, we don't learn. Actually we don't learn. At the tender ages of 73 and 70, not only are we building a complete new laundry and ripping apart our existing bathroom, we are undertaking all the building work ourselves! Oh Man!Now back to Bob Bowerbird. Husband discovered yesterday that the container of nuts, bolts, washers, screws and rivets was upturned and empty. "Bob" had been raiding again. The container had a lid and locking device. Did not stop Bob.A raid on his bower found the items.The bower bird has built a front and back verandah using bits of hardiplank and concrete all nicely decorated with screws, rivets, nuts, bolts and washers. One of the pieces of concrete was "decorated" with a blue ring constructed from a piece of blue plastic artfully placed at the front of his approach verandah.Has his efforts attracted women? Well he has two female bower birds hanging around. However as fast as Bob is decorating, they are pulling it to bits!As for us, we have now placed the container in a strong lockable metal box complete with padlock. Let's see what Bob can do with that.
- @Locksley I saw the picture and instantly smelled the perfume. Lovely
