Will be happy if it brings me luck. <BR/>It is really nice to be near nature. Everyday I wake up to the sounds of birds chirping. Will think about the bird house but I scared I may attract the pigeons which can be a nuisance when it breeds well. I think it may be nicer to have it the natural way. May entice them with some bird seeds as you suggest though. There are many doves around here.<BR/>My daughter has an appointment at the O & G Clicnic University Hospital today. The result will be out today and it will determine whether my daughte need further surgery. She seems to be very well today and dont seem to suffer any pain. I am praying to God that there is nothing wrong wit her. Thanks to your prayers and other friends prayers. Hope God will answer them this once. Will post something on the result.<BR/>Take care and enjoy nature my friiend.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-33817371135292447692008-04-14T23:57:00.000+08:002008-04-14T23:57:00.000+08:00Hello Zawi, really enjoyed going thru your picture...Hello Zawi, really enjoyed going thru your pictures.<BR/>Hey, I think its good luck birds come to nest outside and inside you beautiful house.<BR/>As its beginning of Spring here, we now starting to see Red Robins, Cardinals, Doves around singing.<BR/>And here there's lots of raccoons climbing up trees to churi bird's eggs.<BR/>You should have a bird house hanging somewhere, put some bird seeds and will gets lots of them come around to entertain you and your grandkids, ha ha.<BR/>By the way, how's your daughter?

It is really a kampung setting and must be really soothing to live in.<BR/>We only have room for two trees, the rambutan and the ciku. The rambutan is fairly tall in height but doesnt seem to attract anything to nest in it. The chiku tree which used to attract the birds and squirrels to feed has died off due to an influx of the parasitic dedalu which I was not able to remove in time. There are other smaller shrubs though.<BR/>Hopefully they will come back.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-51648279378536397502008-04-14T11:02:00.001+08:002008-04-14T11:02:00.001+08:00Awang,Saja cuba cuba sementara menanti result Biop...Awang,<BR/>Saja cuba cuba sementara menanti result Biopsis test anak besok. <BR/>I really enjoyed taking pictures of the birds.

Like you we too had several nests at home but alhamdulillah they are high in the trees.<BR/>Maybe the birds knew despite us liking and loving animals, we had 9 cats at home and 3 of them are sure good hunters.<BR/><BR/>At we have sqiurrels 'tebok-ing ' our coconuts and nangka. And there is a group of monkeys which roamed behind our house stalking our banana and papaya.<BR/>And now we don't even had the chance of tasting our Laichi and mata kucing anymore.Its either the tupais or monkeys.<BR/><BR/>Last year we had 3 babi hutan at the empty plot beside ours,feeding on the tapiocas.<BR/><BR/>And the scariest part is we do get visits from our slimmy black friend, the cobra( once had to call the Fire Brigade).<BR/><BR/>InsyaALLAH, the birds will choose your home again.And please tell them to find somewhere higher this time!tokasidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06767973481117699680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-33764856438995896092008-04-14T10:53:00.000+08:002008-04-14T10:53:00.000+08:00Salam Pak Zawi,Interesting post on nature..Love li...Salam Pak Zawi,<BR/>Interesting post on nature..Love life love nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-31755747106145932512008-04-14T10:12:00.000+08:002008-04-14T10:12:00.000+08:00Pak Idrus.How true.

I did let my grandchildren touch and caress the chick in the hope that they will love the chick and help me to look after it. One discriminating evidence though was the way the dumbcane plant was disturbed. I don't think even the two adult birds could shift the position of the plants though the shredding of the nest could be their job. <BR/>In the last two days the chick was around, I saw the adult birds feeding the chick with frenzy as if willing the chick to eat as much and to grow as fast as possible to move away from the nest. Now I feel all the more guilty.<BR/>According to Wati the maid, she saw the chick moving away from the nest, but she didn't see how the chick fell down from it. Since she didn't realize the significance of the bird, she didn't tell anybody else at that time.<BR/>It is a lesson for me the next time around. Thank you for the enlightenment. Its a most valuable piece of information.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-77016951967341893202008-04-14T09:13:00.000+08:002008-04-14T09:13:00.000+08:00zawi, seeing all those images I was indeed happy t...zawi, seeing all those images I was indeed happy that you did take all those images but it broke my heart when you 'lost' those chick. <BR/><BR/>Without the feathers it just could not fly. Bird is very sensitive toward its nest. If it find that it had somewhat been tempered with by others especially human, it would try to move the eggs or its young. One of the reason is that it smell danger. In this case maybe the mother bird was trying to move the chick and in the process anythings could happen. <BR/><BR/>Putting the blame of others includes the cats in not a good idea. I believe that human or other animal had touch the nest, thus had left senses on it. Birds are sensitive to intruder and must have been trying to get the chick to a safer area. In the process anything could happen. <BR/><BR/>Well, in future, when the bird make nest, do try to provide other means of avoiding contact from other species. Maybe that area should be fenced so that the bird knows that the nest is safe. <BR/><BR/>Anyway do not lament, you have already done your best but instead do have a nice day.Pak Idrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420141407304142741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-36752570541509366032008-04-14T07:31:00.000+08:002008-04-14T07:31:00.000+08:00Shah,There is proof to say that the neighbours cat...Shah,<BR/>There is proof to say that the neighbours cat did it but our calculated guess seems to go that way.

May Allah s.w.t. bless you and your family, Pak Zawi.<BR/><BR/>As for your last statement, perhaps you could have, perhaps you can't. Having a wild-born creature accustomed to human touch may later lead to a disastrous effect. This can be seen from the tireless efforts of environmentalist in trying to return animals and alike to their natural environment - a feat easier said than done; I am quite sure you yourself are aware of this.<BR/><BR/>Still, I hope to be able to do the same in the future, where the space around my house can be utilised by God's creatures in relative safety.cakapajehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591299159181667866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-57185713455045602452008-04-13T16:23:00.000+08:002008-04-13T16:23:00.000+08:00Fauziah,That was what I thought too.

Maybe God wanted the birds to learn a lesson too that their choice of place to nest wasn't good enough. I knew it was sooner or later that the cat will get to the chick or the chick would have fallen due to the precarious position of the nest.<BR/>Its the thought of the grieving parents that brings me to realize how the parents of Sharlinie and the like would have felt when they lost their precious child.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-2076191258756529982008-04-13T14:47:00.000+08:002008-04-13T14:47:00.000+08:00Salam Pak ZawiSurvival instinct tells you that you...Salam Pak Zawi<BR/>Survival instinct tells you that you have to find a place where it is safe.

It was so heavy that the ceiling vibrated violently whenever it moved about. My children were often scared to death when the movement was too great.<BR/>Finally we managed to seal off the entrace to the ceiling after it ventured out scavenging for food. Later it was shot dead after it raided a neighbour's chicken coop.<BR/>Some animals are OK to have them around but definitely not monitor lizards or musang especially when they make your ceiling as their home.Pak Zawihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811910594190129145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5229359910176145531.post-63795982517362985982008-04-13T07:47:00.000+08:002008-04-13T07:47:00.000+08:00Pak Zawi,This must be the one you told me last wee...Pak Zawi,<BR/>This must be the one you told me last week.<BR/>It must be sad and frustrating to have that chick, which you observed it from day one, lost without trace.<BR/>The best way to serve the nature is to let it be the way it should.
