The new Umbrella tree

[wildheart]

You've already seen the tree that Craig made for Sterretjie in the Mishka braai thread but I wanted to show you the plan I had to make when it was really hot outside. The umbrella was put to good use and I through her play ladder over it to keep it down in case the wind picked up again.

This is called in South Africa " 'n Boer maak 'n plan" - A farmer makes a plan.

Here are the other photos when Mishka and Sterretjie tried it out for the first time.

Thank you Craig, we love it.

Oh that's just gorgeous Links, thanks! The parasol is a great idea.

I keep forgetting to ask, how do you pronounce Sterretjie?

I keep saying Ster-gee when I am talking to Dave about the forum, fids and members! I know isn't correct haha!

That is so cool Links Im terrible with DIY but must get a playgym made for Rosie when my exams are finished! Ster is so blessed to have found you - you and Craig have provided an amazing home for her and the rest of your family

Sarat kee....got it. Is this the first example of a parrot teaching a person to talk? Love that bird, Ant!

I love the umbrella addition. Next you will be installing a fan for the fids. If I was a bird I would surley want to live in SA.

You are so creative.
