Of course, you can use just about any gourd, or build some small
bird
houses. It's just that the gourds are convenient and easy, and fast.

How do you make the nest?

The bird builds it's own nest inside.
Just carve the hole small enough so the Currawong cannot get inside and
the bird still can. Make sure the nesting space is at lest 6 cm. deep
and drill 3 drain holes in the bottom for when it rains. They will build
on top of the drains but it does not plug them.

I don't have any pics on hand right now, sorry.
I cut a hole for the birds, drain holes in the bottom and stick a
screwed in eye bolt in the top for hanging, and hang them up between 5
and 6 ft. up. Mine seem to go for the lower ones.


One
of my most valuable items is time it seems! Hence the "pop up"
greenhouses I have. Spent maybe 1 hour max erecting each one and
putting
in the shelving.

Now that too sounds interesting. What is it and how do you make them.

I got them from he

Do a google search using "dreamhouse greenhouse" and see if you can find
one locally.


Are you allowed to own an air rifle? Around here, those are not
classified as a firearm.

I've got a gun licence and guns so that isn't a problem. I suspect
that shooting Currawongs isn't allowed and a lead slug just makes then
squark but............

Follow the 3S rule...... ;-)


Squirrel is delicious. Can't help but wonder the same about
Currawongs?

Some of the real old timers round here have eaten just about anything
(like crows) but I've not heard of them eating currawongs. They'd
probably be most like a crow in taste and size. I think I'll stick to
real meat :-))
