Although we have a wonderful park here, the trees are mostly too far away for us to see the birds, only thing we see are squirrels. We do miss our birds.

That nest is quite incredible.

And yes, those empty yards distress me. For many, many years I lived in rented houses, and I was always planting things, even then!

So many people these days miss out on so much because they 'don't have time for a garden'. Driving through the newer suburbs of Perth (and no doubt most modern cities) the mind boggles at the bare yards (when there is a yard) with barely a blade of (real) grass, let alone a tree.
Our first move after we moved into our home was to plant our yard with native trees and shrubs in an effort to attract birds and lizards into the garden. I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered a white-cheeked honeyeater nesting near the front door.
I didn't even mind the feral doves nesting in a tree in the backyard. They might not be native but who can be upset about new life?
