That little bird is more a pest than a pet

Treating my house as a foraging/hunting ground , and leaving her droppings behind

She raises her children on my doorstep , and teaches them the same bad manners

Very nice, okie!
Maybe we should have a "best plot of 2017" competition between you and H.?
Seeing as it is matric time...I remember one year when a hoopoe decided to sit in the upper windows at the back of our school hall and scream his call endlessly...I couldn't get to him, so it was a tough afternoon!

I can send you some untanned rabbit skins from which you can make nice warm slippers to wear while you sit on your stoep

I remember we had doves nesting right outside our school hall and had constant cooing throughout our exams!!
