Kitchen thief!

Kitchen thief!
Kitchen thief!
This little Yellow Honeyeater flew into my open kitchen window, and helped himself to our custard apples that we had picked. We are finding it very hard to rescue any of the fruit off our trees, as the birds are getting to them way too fast! Apparently, not even a kitchen bench is safe from the birds! (But we love them all, just the same)

Bold but beautiful fellow, Debbie! Sorry about the theft of your fruit. Glad you could set aside your annoyance long enough to capture this lovely profile "portrait".

  You are lucky to live in a climate where you can grow custard apples Debbie! They sure are great take away food for the birds!

  This image and story are a total delight!

Would you be from Australia? I haven't seen custard apples since we visited!

In Niagara, we have the many techniques for birds and the grapes that are held for the cold weather to make ice wine. It involves nets and machines that make gun noises.

  Yes, Marilyn, I do live in Australia! :) The farms here use the nets and machines to keep away the birds, but these trees are just in our back yard, so, the guns wouldn't do, and the fruit only lasts a few days, so probably wouldn't be worth the trouble. :)
