Shasta542:
I have birds every year -- nesting in a little mud and stick nest in the corner of my carport ceiling. I think they are swallows or martins -- I don't know. They dive-bomb ferociously -- really fascinating to watch. And sometimes there are 5 or 6 at a time. I came home once -- one had not pulled out of the dive soon enough and crashed into the brick wall--broke his neck. He was a kamikaze. Probably chasing a dog or cat. They fly so fast. I laid him to rest under a crepe myrtle bush.

I have those birds out in my back yard too. They dive bomb Cody every time he goes out there. He hardly pays any attention to them anymore. They'll dive bomb him 4 or 5 at a time sometimes, and he just ignores them. lol

I'll cruise by tomorrow.
The afternoon sun is extremely fierce on my plant in the afternoon - slanting sunlight gets under the overhand - bird is still sitting there. I guess she knows enough to come in out of the heat if she gets too hot.

she is protecting her eggs from the swings in temperature. Her body absorbs the heat but the eggs remain at a steady temperature.

Is the globe something that would water the plant?
