You are very lucky to see them in your garden.

Like your fancy bird feeder, can we see a full picture of it please?

Thanks Guys
Its a homemade bird feeder. Took a 2l coke bottle and cut holes on two sides. Used the tops of two other 1l coke bottles and just glued a strip of plastic so the seeds don't fall out. Filled the bottle with plaster of paris just for the base, and stuck a wooden stick through before it hardened, for the birds to sit on. I decorated it with beads but I see now I need to re-decorate the diner



Now all I do is open the top and use a funnel to fill up the seeds.

Very innovative

Very ingenious

very clever Sharifa...and it even has the African look!!

artistic... a way to hide plastic

Brilliant piece of work Sharifa.

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent idea for the bird feeder Sharifa

Love your Bishops...

Stunning pictures all!

What a beautiful series of pics of the Grey-headed Bush-shrike Leachy! Not easy to photograph them and you got it all!

We have a pair of Crested Barbets living in the two nesting logs in our garden, they occupy both and it depends on the female's mood where they sleep the night. The male was alone for about six months, calling and calling everyday and we were so glad when the female joined him about 18 months ago. They have raised two sets of chicks already and are very good parents. This is the male and he cleans house all the time.
