Speaker 1: from News Talks at.

3
00:00:11,653 --> 00:00:16,093
Speaker 2: Bow Man in the Gardener's Rude Climb passes counting down

4
00:00:16,133 --> 00:00:19,173
Speaker 2: to an important date this afternoon two forty one pm.

5
00:00:19,213 --> 00:00:21,173
Speaker 2: I was right, rude, that is when we are officially

6
00:00:21,213 --> 00:00:21,653
Speaker 2: in winter.

7
00:00:22,573 --> 00:00:25,333
Speaker 3: You're absolutely right? Do you always tell me the same thing?

8
00:00:25,373 --> 00:00:28,413
Speaker 3: I love it? The only thing that changes the excell

9
00:00:28,493 --> 00:00:29,173
Speaker 3: time of the day.

10
00:00:29,213 --> 00:00:33,653
Speaker 2: A yes, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true.

11
00:00:33,813 --> 00:00:35,693
Speaker 2: I wonder what you're saying, manh yeah, yeah, no, that

12
00:00:35,693 --> 00:00:37,493
Speaker 2: makes that makes total scense. So what are you doing

13
00:00:37,533 --> 00:00:39,173
Speaker 2: in your garden to prepare.

14
00:00:39,813 --> 00:00:44,053
Speaker 3: Well at the moment, I'm training birds, I'm getting I'm

15
00:00:44,053 --> 00:00:46,973
Speaker 3: feeding birds in our garden to get back to our

16
00:00:47,013 --> 00:00:50,613
Speaker 3: garden on a regular basis. That really is the idea.

17
00:00:52,013 --> 00:00:54,013
Speaker 3: And so what I'm doing, for instance, is getting a

18
00:00:54,053 --> 00:00:57,893
Speaker 3: lot of silver ice coming with in our garden with

19
00:00:58,053 --> 00:01:02,453
Speaker 3: light blocks and things like that, meatballs, neckar bottles and

20
00:01:02,533 --> 00:01:05,013
Speaker 3: cut open fruit that July sort of hangs up and

21
00:01:05,093 --> 00:01:08,173
Speaker 3: puts everywhere. And in no time you have like sixty

22
00:01:08,253 --> 00:01:11,093
Speaker 3: or so of these birds coming on a regular basis

23
00:01:11,093 --> 00:01:15,333
Speaker 3: to your garden. And that is nice, but it also

24
00:01:15,453 --> 00:01:17,773
Speaker 3: means that they start to understand that this is the

25
00:01:17,853 --> 00:01:22,293
Speaker 3: place where you get food day night, winter, summer. And

26
00:01:22,333 --> 00:01:25,653
Speaker 3: that's what it's about. Because I found out that these

27
00:01:25,693 --> 00:01:29,013
Speaker 3: little silver ice they are absolutely brilliant at going in

28
00:01:29,093 --> 00:01:32,693
Speaker 3: the summertime into my roses and into my fruit, and

29
00:01:32,733 --> 00:01:36,413
Speaker 3: they basically catch all the insects that do damage.

30
00:01:36,893 --> 00:01:38,733
Speaker 2: Oh good, So okay, I thought you were going to

31
00:01:38,773 --> 00:01:41,493
Speaker 2: say they destroyed your roses or they ate your fruit,

32
00:01:41,493 --> 00:01:42,453
Speaker 2: but actually they're helping.

33
00:01:42,893 --> 00:01:48,053
Speaker 3: Yeah, they helping. They are natural pest controllers, these guys,

34
00:01:48,133 --> 00:01:52,053
Speaker 3: mealy bugs and scale insects, a fits, all these things,

35
00:01:52,253 --> 00:01:54,173
Speaker 3: and that means that I don't have to spray them

36
00:01:54,253 --> 00:01:57,093
Speaker 3: or do anything about them.

37
00:01:57,213 --> 00:02:00,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So here's my dilemma because obviously I've had

38
00:02:00,293 --> 00:02:03,573
Speaker 2: my I've had my bird feeder out for some time now,

39
00:02:03,933 --> 00:02:05,693
Speaker 2: and I basically just got a little nick to feeder.

40
00:02:05,733 --> 00:02:07,373
Speaker 2: I put some sugar water in the air. The silver

41
00:02:07,453 --> 00:02:10,333
Speaker 2: rides go absolutely crazy over it. They love it, love it.

42
00:02:10,613 --> 00:02:14,693
Speaker 2: But I reckon they are observably quite pudgy. And now,

43
00:02:14,773 --> 00:02:16,133
Speaker 2: of course I've had to go away for a couple

44
00:02:16,173 --> 00:02:17,613
Speaker 2: of weeks, and so I'm a little bit I've been

45
00:02:17,613 --> 00:02:19,413
Speaker 2: trying to wean them off things quite so much. So

46
00:02:19,453 --> 00:02:21,613
Speaker 2: I've actually been been, you know, going down from an

47
00:02:21,653 --> 00:02:24,333
Speaker 2: every day filling to every two days to every three days,

48
00:02:24,373 --> 00:02:26,653
Speaker 2: just so they're not one hundred percent dependent on my

49
00:02:26,693 --> 00:02:27,813
Speaker 2: feet or is that an issue.

50
00:02:28,533 --> 00:02:31,893
Speaker 3: It's not an issue. Check because they will know six

51
00:02:31,973 --> 00:02:34,373
Speaker 3: months later where you live.

52
00:02:35,213 --> 00:02:38,213
Speaker 4: Ah right, okay, so they will always come and check,

53
00:02:38,373 --> 00:02:41,013
Speaker 4: and once they found something that is of really good food,

54
00:02:41,333 --> 00:02:45,133
Speaker 4: they'll go and they get the whole family across and

55
00:02:45,133 --> 00:02:46,053
Speaker 4: it's simply as that.

56
00:02:46,493 --> 00:02:49,533
Speaker 3: So that's how that works. At the same time, of course,

57
00:02:49,573 --> 00:02:52,893
Speaker 3: I put misnets up for catching the birds with Eduy

58
00:02:52,933 --> 00:02:55,773
Speaker 3: and my twelve year old grandson and we banned them.

59
00:02:55,773 --> 00:02:59,653
Speaker 3: So yesterday we did something like or twenty twenty five,

60
00:02:59,693 --> 00:03:03,813
Speaker 3: twenty six birds not individually banned, so we know who's surprised,

61
00:03:03,973 --> 00:03:08,773
Speaker 3: and yeah, yeah, we see those also, this is our way.

62
00:03:08,773 --> 00:03:11,613
Speaker 3: I know. We see the same birds back again in

63
00:03:12,133 --> 00:03:15,253
Speaker 3: spring and summer when we needed for their best control duties.

64
00:03:15,973 --> 00:03:18,173
Speaker 2: Oh how good, Hey, it's funny you're doing this at

65
00:03:18,173 --> 00:03:20,173
Speaker 2: this time of year. I'm probably telling you something you

66
00:03:20,213 --> 00:03:22,493
Speaker 2: already know, Ruber. Maybe I can teach you something for

67
00:03:22,533 --> 00:03:25,053
Speaker 2: a change. So do you know what the Mardi word for?

68
00:03:25,093 --> 00:03:25,973
Speaker 2: Silver ryers.

69
00:03:26,813 --> 00:03:27,853
Speaker 3: Yeah, Towho.

70
00:03:29,173 --> 00:03:33,533
Speaker 2: Yeah, Toho and Tohoe. And there's just a one letter

71
00:03:33,573 --> 00:03:36,453
Speaker 2: difference with this time of year. Matadiki is of course

72
00:03:36,613 --> 00:03:41,453
Speaker 2: to to Ho Maudi the Mardi Newe. Yeah, and you

73
00:03:41,533 --> 00:03:44,253
Speaker 2: get you're serving the Toehoe at Toho yeah.

74
00:03:44,613 --> 00:03:47,013
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the reason they're the toe Ho because they

75
00:03:47,053 --> 00:03:50,893
Speaker 3: suddenly arrived in eighteen thirty when they flew across from Australia.

76
00:03:50,973 --> 00:03:53,093
Speaker 3: This is a brand new import if you like, it's

77
00:03:53,133 --> 00:03:55,573
Speaker 3: only one hundred and sixty years old. It's amazing.

78
00:03:55,613 --> 00:03:58,253
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to make them feel as welcome as possible.

79
00:03:58,293 --> 00:04:01,133
Speaker 2: Thank you sir. Yeah, I love having the bird feed

80
00:04:01,173 --> 00:04:02,653
Speaker 2: around at this time of year. We'll catch you in
