That's a good idea with the paper!

The newspaper looked bad. Wouldn't keep its shape and the birds were shredding it.
Small finches? Nice! Don’t like the loud birds. This time of year I have painted buntings at my feeders. The most beautiful local bird. Your aviary looks like a relaxing place to sit and read.
Might want to check price at an auto paint supply shop for that masking paper. My local hot wing restaurant gets it and uses it for table covers.
They do! Even older people speak beautiful English. Conversations not in Danish with 5-year-olds might be more tricky though.

What do they then do with the meat that they culled. Make deer jerky and sell it?

Oh that is fantastic.
Evening all..
Since my kayaking event was cut very short this morning, I managed to get a few other tasks done. Hooked up with a person who bought an old DogLoo that I had purchased (used) a few years back for Sullys outside play area. So, CraigsList was good for me - sold!
With temps in low 70’s here today, and nice breezes, I was able to get more house trim painted, specifically around the garage.
Not many outdoor painting days left :-(
As i passed my confused fig trees who don’t know if they should be getting ready for Winter or Spring, I noticed one nice dark looking fig. Later on, I went back to inspect that fig, and lo and behold, it’s a “Black Madeira” - one that I started from a cutting sent to me from the University of California Davis Campus Agricultural Dept. Long story, but they collect and keep and preserve various strains there in their gardens and offer cuttings of the pure stock to growers once per year. I started this one maybe 5 years back.
Here’s the fig right from the tree

How very frustrating. I would have been so mad. And given them a good talking to.
Not sure. Sometimes it is processed and provided to various institutions for their consumption.
Glad to know you're all well.
Oh yes, my dear friend, Oli is definitely being naughty. Am I to punish hm?

At least it doesn't go to waste.
Knowing you Gillian, the answer is no. You will sigh, maybe mutter a little under your breath, and wait for him to decide he is going to behave himselfGlad to know you're all well.

Now you have gone and made me hungry.
Somewhat true, however if I lose my temper......he's in for real trouble.Knowing you Gillian, the answer is no. You will sigh, maybe mutter a little under your breath, and wait for him to decide he is going to behave himself
I'd stop offering him lettuce - his favourite. I'd stop taking him out for "walks."
So jealous, that looks delicious!!
It’s been awhile, but here is the UC Davis info on when, where, how to get seeds, cutings....etc

I used sawdust on the floor of my bird flight. About once a week I'd go inside and stir it around, picking up the obvious clumps. Corn cobb bedding works good too. For your flight, you would have to line the bottom of the walls about a foot up to keep the litter inside.
