My Feathery Friends.

Time for my feathery friends to make an entry. These are Zuzu and Mamma.They are 10 months old. Mamma lays eggs and Zuzu's Cock-a-doodle-doo warms my heart. They are fond of onions, tomatoes and spinach.


Also note a nest which is in the foreground.

Welcome to my world

                                                                                                                                                                                               Welcome to my world. It is a world of plants, plants and more plants. It is Ferns, Cacti, Succulents andTouch-me-nots. Here is a mini world of water plants like Water Lilly, Pistia and Reed. What you cannot see in these pictures is a coop and a hanging nest. There is also a beehive on the other side of that balcony. In the days to come I'll take you on a journey of how this all started and the way it has changed my life.
