We're quite fortunate that Nature's feathered creatures graced our garden. There's always an abundance of birds flying around. Having our lovebirds adds to the merriment. Especially when the wild birds scavenge our lovebirds food. Twittering and their fluttering keeps our garden alive and interesting.
Just recently, we've noticed this particular bird going back and forth on our ficus tree. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that they're preparing a nest!! Of all places or trees to make a home, they chose our ficus tree! :D That's quite an honor!
Knowing that it's going to take them sometime before they'll finish their nest, we've decided to help them a lil bit. We've scattered around the area some cotton and coconut barks. That surely speeded up their nest building. That by the time Easter came around, they've laid their eggs!!
Two weeks after Easter, their eggs hatched! Two lovely lil birds...
We've researched what species of local birds we have nesting on our garden and it turned out to be the Yellow Vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus goiavier).
