Ribh's D'Coopage

[Aussie-Chookmum]

My MIL used to feed them until they had to go away for a few weeks. They started *attacking* them when they got back by dropping quite large sticks on their roof & heads & chewing on their wood....so...nope. I won't feed them. The bloke down the road does & we've all warned him. On the other hand we also get Black Cockatoos & those are cool.

Those ingrates!

I just remembered my camellias Ribh.

I expect you can't grow them where you are.

Thank you ... that Camellia is so lovely!
And that green egg is so pretty

OOOH, post before and after photos of your native hedge Ribh!

Well, I suppose we'll have to wait a few years for the "after" photos

Our RSL actually did what I had in mind. I'll see if I can remember to take a photo. I started then the builders crashed all over everything... Very disheartening.

Oh, and here is a photo from Dec 18 taken from the same spot as the one looking toward the dead grevillea and chook run but looking to the left. Just for you Ribh .

Everything looks a lot more ragged and brown now what with winter and water restrictions.

And that concludes the virtual tour of the back yard!

That is lovely! So glad you don't have a Hills hoist. Such space wasters!!!

Camellias do quite well up here. My MIL [who lived next door] grew monster ones & my mum [on the Sunshine coast] does well with hers.

 

[Ribh]

Yep. I think most girls start laying small & their eggs gradually get bigger till they reach a standard size.

The days are numbered for the Hills hoist at my place. And the 8m2 of concrete surrounding it.
