these loud brats have taken to the Manchurian Pear the local council planted out front a few years ago...this year is the first time they have congregated to feast on the fruits

usually have their raucous behaviour is coming from the eucalypts either in my backyard or in the primary school year over the road

HI Ashke .....Yes they are a trifle noisy I had them in one of the Gum trees this afternoon.
Even with the noise of the rain on the colourbond roof I could still hear them chattering.
Lovely birds all the same, also very pretty such beautiful coloured feathers they have.
Wonderful pics.......Cheers..MM.

Yes they are noisy, but they are a lot of fun to watch.

Ben - no, HK is in the tropics (just) and the summers are hot and humid, while the winters are sometimes coldish, but never down to freezing - 10 degrees or so (Celsius) minimum. Donna - the sonatinis are new to me. I have another called Marrakech, which produced leaves but no flowers. Yes, it's nice to sit on the rooftop in April and enjoy the blooms, and I can't resist the temptation to pollinate more and more, even though I have no more space to plant any. So this year's pods are a bit redundant and I should give some away if anyone wants them, especially the deep red crosses which produce seed so well. I'll open another thread and offer some around.

Hi Everyone! I'm not a member of Cracked Pot Gardeners but have been enjoying reading all of your posts. I was wondering what winter seeding is and how you do it. I live in southern michigan and am getting anxious for spring. I've been planning my veggie garden for this year and also my herb garden. Now I just need to plant something. I noticed someone mentioned her hubby was going to try planting in a sandwich baggie. I am so curious about this. Thanks for any help and sorry to butt into your exchange club.

OOh, this reminds me we still have to go to our lawyer to sign an amended will. We switched guardians for out two youngest from my bil to my oldest son. I should do that before I open the box. Would it be a good idea to have the dog sniff it out first? Should I worry about the mail carrier, after all she is a nice lady. Oh, what to do, what to do. Maybe have a fresh raw steak handy and ready to throw in another direction while I run with the plants.

Beautiful photos, yes they give a laugh, all that huffing and puffing and stomping up and down branches. Sometimes when the flocks come through here after the gum blossoms, we get one tame one that flies down onto my shoulder and does a few tricks before taking off again with his wild friends.

lol yes, they are fun to watch, and yes, they are noisiest when it rains...not sure why...anyone know?

they've been one of life's great pleasures since I moved into this place 9 years ago (thank goodness I won the argument with the developer about NOT chopping down the huge gum tree in my backyard)
Cheers, Maria
