Birds Nesting At Our Farm – I
When birds find your farm environment to be conducive, they become resident and no longer transcient. We can farm and yet we can have a bird sanctuary, sharing just a small percentage of our farming produce with the birds.
It is an honour that many birds, both common and rare have started to nest at our farm. Subsequent generations become increasingly tame and human-friendly.
Emerald Dove – two years ago they first started to appear; always flightly. Today they have started nesting at our farm in at least 5 locations.

Yellow Vented Bulbul – they have nests all over our farm, and subsequent generations are no longer transcient making our farm their permanent home.

This juvenile Asian Glossy Starling is part of a flock hatched from nests in our farm.
And our personal favorite, the diminutive Tailor Bird, which goes about its business right next to us without a care. This bird was just 5 feet away from me while I was noisily cutting some brush. How’s that for trust?
