A bird who thinks our mailbox makes a great nest!

Mailboxes aren’t quite the same in New Zealand: Birds nest in them!

We drove up our driveway to see a bird flying in and out our mailbox with twigs in its beak! For the past few days we thought a neighbour was trying to tell us something (clean-up your driveway!); but no, it was simply a bird looking for a good nesting box!

  1. Oh yey, this is just lovely. I sent this post to my parents and they were flabbergasted (you like that old english word!?). They thought it was brilliant! xx

  2. The nest is bigger today! It seems too cruel to ditch the twigs after the birds hard work (even if it is only a starling!), so we’re going to put a note up tomorrow saying,

    “Dear Postie,

    Please deliver mail in neighbour’s box as there’s a bird nesting in this one.

    Thank you kindly for your understanding.

    Yours gratefully,

    Family Lee”
