We have lots of
bowerbirds in our garden all year round it seems, and this morning we noticed a female
or young male removing a fruit from below our comquat tree on the back porch.
Closer inspection revealed that the bird has stripped virtually all the fruit
from the tree. In previous years the tree produced masses of fruit and
this had been left entirely alone.
The birds have also
removed all the pansy flower heads from some of the hanging baskets. We are
trying to think of this as "tip pruning" and hope we get lots more fruit and
flowers in due course.......
