A new permanent resident.

We have two new resident sharing our home. Both are shiny black, small, cute and have a pair of wings each...the swallows.



When we first view the house late May last year, the house was free from other residents. The day came when we started to move our belongings almost two months later, that we noticed a small 'setup' above the drain-pipes at one corner of the porch.

Upon closer observation, it was actually a bird nest BUT where is the resident???? Looks like the whole structure of the nest was made of mud being glued together..or is it something else..till now, we still don't really know the answer. Looks like the whole nest have been abadoned.



Just as we are celebrating the holy month of Ramadhan, a new resident came to built their new 'home' at a different spot of the building. The new 'home' was rather small in size compared to the first. This time around, the parents stayed and guard the 'home' of any uninvited intruders. We were always been swayed by these 'parents' whenever we passed their 'home' surroundings every morning but fortunately, there have been no fatal casualties. I managed to get a glimpse of these 'kids' & a photo shot of them.














It seems the 'kids' have outgrown their home and might just be a tragedy if any of them is to fall. If this unfortunate event is to happen, they will just be an unwilling prey to the unforgiving predators...ie. the neighbour's cats.



This is one of the three 'abandoned' Baya Weavers' nests (above photo) that we bought during our holidays three years ago in a neighbouring country. Baya Weaver (locally known as Burung Tempua) can be commonly found in the South Asia & South-east Asia. They are so-called Baya Weaver because they are great weavers, using twigs & long grasses to weave their nests..just amazing, such a small bird with great patience.

We just hanged the nests among our plants in our potted garden. Sometimes, it did attract smaller birds that occasionally visit the plant and we won't be surprised if we to find another resident to the nest.
