Neu-Pest

Last week we received a huge box sent by Bálnt papa and Rita, containing three fantastic birdhouses, and three books on Hungarian wild birds, their habitats, and lots of advice on attracting them to our new garden. Not surprisingly, it's our second day back to Gyub, and we have already put up the birdhouses on carefully selected trees. (Close enough for us to see, far enough for the birds to have privacy, safe enough from Gato the Birdhunting Cat...). Following the book's advice, we also wrapped ultra-thorny rose branches around the tee trunks to redirect Gato to other trees. Now the book says to be patient, and that sometimes it takes years for birds to notice a birdhouse and move in, but we are hopeful and open for business. Hopefully will be able to report on the news soon?Read more
