Gold Coast Montessori for a Baby Friar Bird
Well whoever heard of a Noisy Friar Bird coming to learn at a Gold Coast Montessori preschool?
We have a nesting pair and they are very tough on our poor Kookaburras who hang around on the old TV aerial.
This is what the adults look like. The Noisy Friarbirds eat nectar, fruit, insects and other invertebrates. They spend their time feeding on nectar high up in trees, only coming down to the ground sometimes to feed on insects.
Noisy Friarbirds form long-term pairs, with both parents defending the nest and surrounds. The female builds a deep cup-shaped nest from bark and grass, bound with spider webs, in a tree-fork. You can see it (sort of) in the movie high up in our Fig Tree.
Watching these birds and what they get up to is another way for children to learn in any Gold Coast Montessori preschool, if you are lucky enough have great natural surroundings like Fridays Child.
