There's a terrible mess outside the front of our unit; I noticed it when I opened the front blinds. An 8-foot section of the paling fence opposite is streaked with bird droppings, The concrete driveway is covered with droppings and the path up to our front door. There was a mess even under the chairs on our front deck. When I went out to have a closer look, I noticed that there was just as much mess on the roof.
Clearly, there had been a bird convention here overnight and Marilyn and I, sleeping at the back of the unit had heard nothing.
My first thought was that we had had an influx of seagulls but we are quite a way from the sea, and Jamie suspects the culprits were cockatoos. Longford is well-known for being a haunt for Black Cockatoos but I rarely see them. Maybe the purpose of their visit was to remind me that they still exist.
I went for a wander around the other units but none has had the treatment we have enjoyed so it remains a bit of a mystery.
Jamier has promised to bring over his Karcher and we can make an attempt to clean it all up.
