Liz, question for you

Hi Liz,

I noticed that you have avocado trees. Do birds ever eat them? The pet bird community believes that they are bad for birds, but I'd like to confirm it from someone like you.

Thanks! Jean

PS How's the sewing room cleaning going? What are you making today?

Hi Jean

I have one large avocado tree that shades the western side of the house. I love it & birds do congregate there but I don't think that they actually eat the fruit. The fruit bats do though, They eat anything in their path. Had a couple of kookaburras in there just before Christmas. I have made a sort of a mini rain forrest under the tree, always looks cool & shady even when it's hot as blazes.

love

Liz

Liz,

Now I'm officially jealous of your yard!!! I'm looking at snow and leafless trees.

Thanks for the information about the avocados.

Love, Jean

Hi Jean. That is only one side. We live near the beach so it is entirely different at the front & other sides.

This is my front yard

Out the back is more gardens, Mango,grapefruit,lemon,orange, banana,paw-paw & mandarin tree. And the fish filleting shed

Love

Liz

Wow! It sounds like you live in a tropical or semi-tropical paradise, with such a variety of fruit trees. That's fantastic!

And a fish filleting shed to boot! Would you consider adopting me? LOL.

Love,
Wayne
