Amazing Cockatoo Story w/photos! May 29, 2007
Posted by Andrew in : Cockatoo , add a comment...please?It’s a heartwarming story called “A Tale of Two Cockies” and includes many beautiful photos.
Below is a an excerpt from the page:
About eight years ago a wild Australian Sulphur Crested Cockatoo flew into a car and broke its wing. The motorist took it to the Vet in Nerang, Queensland, who had to amputate the wing. We adopted her - for which we needed a National Parks and Wildlife permit - and kept her in a cage outside where she was often visited by wild Cockatoos. One of the things that impressed us was how she would push lettuce leaves through the bars of the cage, offering food to visitors.

Photo Problems May 22, 2007
Posted by Andrew in : Misc , comments closedSomehow the “click to enlarge” photos are getting a page not found error. I’m so sorry, I had no idea it was doing that until just now. I don’t have time to fix it right now, as I’m travelling a bit today and so won’t have a connection.

Garden Tip : Making A Finch Feeder May 15, 2007
Posted by Andrew in : Finch, Wild Birds , add a comment...please?By Mayoor Patel
Sometimes the best thing about having bird feeders in your garden is sharing those moments of bird watching with your children. It is a wonderful opportunity to teach them about the wildlife that flies past your window as well as a nice time to spend sharing something beautiful with your kids. If this is something you want to do perhaps you also would like to make some of the bird feeders with them. Depending on the age of your kids this can be another sharing and learning opportunity. One of the feeders you could make is the finch bird feeders. They are a little more complicated than making the simpler platform feeders which are very simple, but not so hard that you could not construct one.
Since finches are such tiny birds what is used as a finch bird feeder is often a tube bird feeder.
The first thing to do is to find all the materials that will be needed. Start with a narrow plastic tube. This can be something that was used as a medicine bottle, spice jar or soda pop bottle. Then you will need something to use as perches. The best thing to use for this will be dowel. Dowel is round pieces of wood. You will want them to be no wider than a quarter of an inch. How long they are is completely dependent on the width of the tube you are using. On average each piece of dowel should be around six inches long. You will also need a small hook which has a screw at one end, a hot glue gun, non-toxic paint and a good drill with various sized bits.
Take the drill and make holes for the dowel to go into. Leave them longer on one side so the bird has a place to sit on the perch; glue them in place. Depending on how big the tube is you can make at least six perches by alternating them on all the sides. Use the screw hook to attach the top to the tree. If you want to make it more attractive for your garden you can paint it. This is a very simple way to make finch bird feeders.
