My Ma had one when they quit smoking went to tea only never knew what is was called but loose tea holder ?

 

[Perris]

I've seen them too but can't remember what it's called; spherical strainer?

I've now got a 2nd broody, a young Wellie pullet whose eggs Eve has been sitting on since yesterday... if she doesn't quit during the week or do other novice nonsense, I'll try to slip some of her own eggs to her. They are in separate coops, which should make it easier. And perhaps not coincidentally, one of the Swedish Flowers (none of whom have gone broody for me) is teaching the young Barbezieux pullet to roost in the holm oak...

Rather warm here today. No luck nest hunting.
This is what I'm using for the loose tea until my tea pot gets made. There is a name for it. Anybody know what it's called.

I think it's for herbs. The two halves open.

It isn't. It isn't clear in the picture but there are two halves.

Getting some pro tree huggers then Perris.

Tribe 3. They have started coming around in the evening once Tribe 1 has gone to roost. Outside my house is Tribe 1 territory although other tribes will visit. Notch has become more confident this year. He had a bad year last year and got his arse kicked by every other rooster here. Don't feel sorry for him. He bullied and harassed all the other roosters for a couple of years. Eventually Cillin put a stop to it. Thankfully Cillin doesn't have a vindictive streak in him and Notch just keeps out of his way these days. The bantam roosters still try to pick a fight with Notch most evenings. He made their live a misery for quite a while.
Anyway, Notch has settled down and while he no longer runs away from the bantam roosters he backs off if at all possible. He's a wonder with his hens. Probably the best of the bunch now and he's got all the nutters.

Okay I'll settle for a difference in terminology and function.
This is what I would get in the UK if I went into a shop and asked for a tea strainer.

But, you got the term I was looking for which was ball infuser.
