On the way home
from an environmental survey near Bindoon today, Gill and I were
horrified to find this huge pile of discarded wire dumped in the bush.
It might sound funny but despite seeing cockatoos, a Rainbow Bee-eater
nest and many other native animals, finding this wire was the highlight
of my day!
This
multi strand ‘clothesline wire’ is something which, after years of
trials, I have found to be the best material for hanging nest boxes.
It is strong, galvanised (so doesn’t rust) and is very easy to bend
into shape. We spent about an hour untangling a very small portion of
the above pile and salvaged about 200m. We stopped into the local shop
and found the same wire for sale at $25 for 10m. Saving money, waste and
the environment is our motto, and we love it!
