sandeyeFront yard and back yard
May 31st 2009 16:15
Most birds seem to come into one yard, but not both. For example, I have only spotted rainbow lorikeets I the back yard on 3 occasions over 8 years, yet they are in the umbrella tree in the front hundreds of times. Likewise, the pigeons are always hanging out our back yard - or were til my neighbor took to rattling empty tubs at them - but I have only seen them out front 2-3 times.
Some birds do inhabit both of our yards, though. The doves like to vegetate on our fence, catch bugs in the compost, and share the seeds with my pigeons - but they can also be found in the front yard, munching something from the berberis and hibiscus shrubs. The wattlebirds are also as interested in the hibiscus and tree on the verge out front as they are the privet and abutilon out back.
I do not get many photographs of the front yard birds, as we live on a city street - and people might not like me sticking a cam era out the window and clicking as they walk past!! However, I have on occasions got a shot of the lorikeets hiding behind umbrella tree branches or some such useless shot… usually I do not bother going for the camera, unless it is the back yard though.
