Birders.
Two years ago, when I lived in Laurieton NSW( JUst
South Of Port Macquarie) the SBB;s had well used Bowers in the garden. Some
of the wonderful collections were..Blue pieces of Snapgragon flowers,white
weathered wooden pegs,3" of green lemon leaves,old shells (white), dried Banksia
leaves were a favourite & often thieved by other Sbb's.Dark blue piece of
material, pieces of garden ties. Lots of Blue drinking straws & no blue peg
was safe.Yellow pansie flowers. Brown pieces of bark were often used. Violet
beads & they would find the old dried cases of the gooseberrys very
attractive. Small green calyx of a native flower often turned up. There was a
great exchange of Treasures, with most activity happening during July &
August. The largest item was half a blue plastic coathanger. I saw it
being brought in through the trees...quite a feat. This was traded into several
garden bowers. They must have thought it really made an
impression.
