Home for a Bird or ?

Our farm business is about growing food and fibre for people. 

BUT it also provides habitat for lots of creatures.

While Dad and I were mustering sheep the other day, we noticed some very old trees.

Some of them nestled amongst lots of young trees and some stand alone proudly.
They look very scraggly and tired.

Hidden deep inside the hollows are birds nesting and looking after their babies.

These trees are an important part to the farm. They provide shelter to birds.
























We have lots of birds living on the farm. In these trees all sorts of parrots are nesting.

Galahs


Sulphur Crested Cockatoos
Cockatoos


Crimson Rosellas


Corellas

These grand old trees are also home to other creatures, possums, bats and sugar gliders.



I think I would love a tree house. 

BUT I think I would have to grow wings to get in the door!
