A bird who thinks our mailbox makes a great nest!

Posted on November 5, 2007November 16, 2007 by BritMumInNZ

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!
