But do you have any ideas for getting rid of currawongs? The mongrel

BTW, the aphids have arrived and still not a sign of any ants anywhere
near the roses but the wrens are very active.


A good way to increase your local wren population is to provide them
with nesting sites. A lot of my birdhouse gourd houses are occupied
every year, sometimes twice in a season. :-)

Easy to make too.

I have quite a few birdhouse gourd seeds on hand if you want some?
