Cheeky

On my peanut feeder it said “jackdaw proof”. Which is true, but I don’t think they had this cheeky exotic visitor in mind during the design stage. Meet Percy our local parakeet. He is a very fussy eater, discarding the skin of the peanuts. Sometimes he brings his woman, Priscilla along and they make sweet squeaky sounds.

Two beautiful bird boxes later and guess where this little bird decided to make a nest? He dug his way through a layer of insulation material spreading bits of fluff through the whole garden. But I can’t bring myself to fix the wall, imagine what will happen when he brings his missus to his beautiful nest and it is no longer there!
