UPDATE ... Buzzing line, Quassia & crimson rosellas

["Barbara Preston" <>]

Hi All
Just after sending my message re quassia yesterday I found several lengths 
of buzzing line (the pale aqua plastic tape).
I stretched the lengths over most of the balcony rails where the wisteria is 
growing - tautly stretched from wisteria branchlets that are above the 
rails. (The balcony is triangular.)
I thought I had suceeded until a short while ago - the female CR spent a few 
minutes trying to find a juicy bud less than a metre under a loudly buzzing 
line (it's quite breezy at the moment). She was chased away by a wattle 
bird, but came back again, unpeturbed, it seems, by the buzzing line - 
though she might have been sufficiently distracted by it not to actually 
find any buds (though it might just be that there were not buds left to 
find).
I finally couldn't restrain myself, and, as I've done so many times before, 
stormed out onto the balcony, loudly clapping and shooing, and she took off 
squawking . .  .
Maybe I just need to learn to share ...
cheers
Barbara
