A work mate was telling me a unusual story at work the other day. He had seen a strange looking bird going in and out of his shed.upon further watching it he noticed it was going inside a hole in one of his speakers from his stereo system. He took a few photos on his phone and then identified it as a spotted pardalote. He also said he forgot about the bird nesting and cranked up the stereo the other day. He is now expecting fledglings with tattoos and earrings now he said.

No Craig thats how i was told it.Serious. The youtube song is a very ramped up version of the surfin bird from 1963,not the version I would listen to but that part is a joke. :lol: I doubt they will hatch but I will ask again in a while.

nice pic, thankyou.
they will nest wherever they damn-well please.....that's still ringing in my ears from long ago.
maybe we should all install stereo speakers for our birds as nest receptacles....maybe not woofers but certainly tweeters.... :lolno:
