A Bird's NEST at Rajan's NEST

Heard of a wheel within a wheel, but a nest within a NEST?
We had a Bulbul build a nest in one of our plants behind our house ... and the eggs are so tiny. The kids can't wait to see it hatch and little fledglings come out of it.

A Bulbul (could this be a male one?)

The nest of a red-whiskered Bulbul

The first few days - she was very scared, at the slightest sound - she would fly away ... but then she got used to us. Now she doesn't care!

Here she is!  In her cozy little nest

Got this JACKFRUIT from the seminary last week - it was wasting and rotting away and not many gave good reports about this fruit - we took a chance and it turned out to be really sweet!
Taking the edible portion out of this fruit can be nightmare - as it is sticky and messy - but Carmen did well!


The finished & cleaned product
Theo loved it - never had jackfruit which was this sweet :-)

This is what we ended up with, after an arduous cleaning session - YUMMY!!
