The Barbets, tree pies, Mynas and squirrels find the papaya fruit before we can pluck them! It is about six months, since we were able to pluck one. As we plucked the two fruits yesterday, we felt that we got there before the birds found them!
A garden is for us and for the avians!
The avians have as much claim as we have on the fruits. The papaya tree came from bird droppings in our garden! We did not plant the sapling.
A home is for the household. A good portion of the house ought to be designed to meet the needs of children.
A garden is for the family of all living beings. The flora and fauna make the garden eco-friendly.
A garden is a host for the avians as they do not sow, reap or store in barns their food. They live the calling, 'Give us our daily bread'! All the more reason to have a friendly and hospitable setting for the feathered friends in the garden.
