Thanks to many of you - I have started to get my garden back on track, sold eggs, purchased additional furniture and have a new aviary "in the wings" (hah) with all the treasure you've donated.

It's been awesome and I have to say - although originally unsure of the value of the site - I am 100% a fan.

Happy Holidays / Safe travels etc to you all and here's to a very neighbourly new year :)

I am seeking the following items (was going to just head to Bunnings but thought maybe you guys / my neighbours might have things to sell / get rid of, so I'll start here!)

Mesh / Chicken wire
Wood (of assorted shapes, sizes & types)
Tree stump (singular! Only need one)
Kids (size) broken bicycle (Will not be for riding)
Corrugated iron (ideally long lengths) or something to use as a roof (if you have something better, I am all ears, thanks!)
Wooden lattice 'bits' (I should go into marketing hah)
Polystyrene (ideally large sheets)

And IDEAS - I need ideas too - please!

This particular project is to create a fun aviary / play area for my pet magpie. When I have visitors I have to lock her away because she's (spring has sprung and she's feeling very protective! ie PSYCHO lol) decided everyone has feet wot need attacking.. So while she's incarcerated, I figure she should have some fun ..

So as I say, ideas for fun things she could have in the enclosure would be great too .. thanks everyone!

And yes that's her pictured, asleep on my german shepherd's feet ;)
She isn't always horrid lol
