"Jack & the Beanstalk" ?

[SAbottles]

Well it's taken just about forever, but the buds have finally opened & the birds are arriving:- 1st) a red-winged starling

2nd) a Cape Weaver :

3rd) the sort of pandemonium that occurs when a number of them arrive together - there are 4 birds here

There is an agave (century plant) embossed on the back of some of the Peter Fahrney medicines....

Nice photos, Matt. Lovely plant - but no birds on it ?!!! [&o]

[] Looks like show time, Dale! Can you observe the bird activity from your windows??

Previous post.

As regards the Beanstalk - I know what's under there - the sewage pipe into which it's probably inserted its roots

That's a tough call? Do you keep an awesome plant or keep using the bathroom?

 

[SAbottles]

Yes, cyber. If you look at earlier photos you will see it is right next to the stoep windows, which we hosed down yesterday so that we could see through them after the hellish South Easter we have been having.

Cows, as regards the toilet issue, I don't think I'll go there (except as per normal!!) This thread could get too scatological [] !!!

Great bird pics!...Looks like you might have a pretty good lens on your cam.

OK, time for some more bird photos (despite that comment in a certain thread that claimed this site was just for "bird watchers & farmers" !![]
That biiig plant is really attracting the birds now, could definitely use an air traffic controller !
This is a Cape Weaver (above) & an Orange-breasted Sunbird (below) :
