Hi all
 
Michael & Janette tell us that mint leaves will keep algae under control in the bird bath. But does anyone know how to prevent (legally) Pied Currawongs from regurgitating their pellets into the bird bath? It turns the water into a disgusting brown soup. And why do they have to up-chuck in the water anyway? Do they get some kind of motion sickness when they see their wavering reflections on the wind-rippled surface? Why can't they let it all hang out in the garden? The neighbour's garden, preferably.
 
Bye
John.
