So nicely built. Wonder why they don't use it any more....
However, I noticed a bulbul flying out from the bamboo leaves again yesterday.
Looking closing, I noticed that the male bird is building a new nest, just about 1.5 feet away from the old one. However, it is so close to our main door, and we may frighten them whenever we go in/out to our house.
This morning, again I saw him working so hard.
Perhaps the female bird is asked to take a rest as she is pregnant ;)
This second photo shows the semi-completed nest.
Some more effort needed.....
Just see how many nests are there within such a small angle of the jambu air tree.
The Dragon fruit flowers withered, but the young fruits are beginning to form at the base.
I have wrapped them up this morning to prevent fruit flies from attacking them.
Unfortunately, the recent heavy downpours have destroyed the 2 new buds :~(
Meanwhile, our chili plants are yielding some good hot staffs....
Have you seen this 'rounded loofah'? 絲瓜
I trust they are available in US too.
These are the baby loofahs, and the yellow flowers are bright and beautiful.
This one is approaching maturity.
The longest we harvested is around 15".
Too much for our own consumption, so we have been giving away....
If ripen fully, it is used for washing.
Cheers....
