Birds in the Diamonds, in the sky.

Wasn’t this reported in the Canberra Times quite a while ago? Or the Chronicle? Or the City News or something?

“Along with the OHS issues associated with dealing with birds trying to protect thier young.”

Cool! We have vicious vultures nesting at the NGA. Or do we just have a nanny state?

I’ll need to rig up some sort of flamethrower. Thanks!

Anyone how do you get rid of Indian Mynah birds? They are nesting in a tree at my house and I heard they scare off the native birds. Bloody pests.

What birds are they? Not Indian Mynahs?

Apparently it’s going to cost at least $10, 000 to get them out because of the size of the crane/scissorlift/cherrypicker required to get someone up there. Along with the OHS issues associated with dealing with birds trying to protect thier young.

I personally think they should leave it – if the peice is meant to be a statement about the planet earth (the previous globe was at least), and the Earth is a ‘nest’, then wouldn’t it make sense to leave some creatures living and nesting inside it?

An enterprising cat or an enterprising catapult?

Gotta love the birds.

I was at the NGA last week and saw this nest. It was very windy that day and the suspended sculpture was bouncing around vigorously. The birds seemed fairly content though.

Let me drop my resolution to 640×480……oh yeah!
