putting on the birds

Here are the birds being glued onto the pole.

Some are on the ground pecking for things to eat, amongst the grass.

And other birds are in the trees.

The mosaic tiles and the ceramic birds are glued onto the poles with tile adhesive.

We have been able to get the concrete poles from the Moonee Valley Council, thankyou to Jason and Edwin. Phil and Peter brought them to us on a truck.

They were lifted from the truck with a special crane.
