I have cranes visiting in mine amongst wrens, chaffinches and wagtails, you might get lucky.  Nighty night x

Don't forget to advertise - maybe in sugar glider x

Hi Melba, what bird does your maggie say to hunt for, I can't remember if it's woodpecker or crane?

Congrats on your 1st jackdaw chick 🥳 Shame the twin was missed, never mind, you've coloured in another picture!  Store or discard the eggshell, put the nest back into storage. Discard one low birdmix and replace with a tall tropical fruit (waxwings will visit) x

Time to hunt again for the magpie nester for an egg.

Okay, here's the next step to get your jackdaw chick/s.  Firstly, clear your table and put into storage. Harvest the black and white gems, put pots into storage. Put out 2x low tables to left of garden. Then put nest, strawberry and mushie (which is nearly rfh, ie turns pink). If it's not rfh when you are doing this, then just discard it and plant another one, dd to fully grown.  Lastly, put out organic (5x feeds, cost of 10 gold) birdmix.

Do not hunt any more until your egg has hatched.

PS:  Yay I just noticed you have a jackdaw egg in the nest, well done!!! 🥳 

It's late, I'll leave you info on what to do next when I'm back on.  I'm off to bed now, nighty night x

Hi Melba, I have been popping in here to give a splash now and then, sorry I haven't been around much.  We are doing okay, thanks.  Scott finally has the go ahead to drive again, so he is back home now.  He's been staying with us for the last 6 wks, apart from weekends, so it's been a busy time.

Hoping you are both keeping well too and enjoying a bit cooler weather, take care x

Have a lovely day Melba. I'm just watching telly, will be bedtime in a few hours.  We still have Scott staying with us during the week following his shoulder surgery, still not permitted to drive, so John takes him to/from work 3 days a week.  The other 2 he goes to physio.  And back home on weekends, works out well for everyone. Hopefully he gets the all-clear to get back to normal life again. It's been raining very heavily the last 24hrs - from beautiful Spring day back to winter x

Nighty night 🛌💤

We have Matt and family staying with us again for a few days, this time for Havana's 3rd birthday tomorrow (21st). They are taking her to a fun house to celebrate, then it's cake with us tomorrow night.

Sorry you're still having trouble finding birds for an egg. Just keep hunting at your leisure, it will happen eventually.  Sleep well x
