We wrote earlier about how we installed a我们写了早些时候关于我们如何安装了 solar charged pest repeller for our mole problems太阳能被控害虫repeller为我们摩尔的问题 . Well, the Rabbit doesn’t seem all too bothered by the solar pest repeller, as you can see it near the Rabbit in the picture below.那么,兔似乎没有太困扰太阳能害虫repeller ,正如你可以看到它附近的兔在下面的图片。

However, while we haven’t seen the Rabbit eating our vegetables from our vegetable garden, we have seen it eating the large blades of grass close to the house.不过,虽然我们还没有看到兔吃蔬菜,我们从我们的菜园,我们已经看到它吃的大型叶片的基层组织密切向内务。 And, when we observe this, the Rabbit is close to our house rather than near the vegetable garden which is towards the back fence.和,当我们观察这一点,兔是接近我们的家园,而非附近的菜园,这是对回围栏。

You can see the vegetable garden in the picture below as well as our solar charged lawn mower part way through mowing the backyard lawn.你可以看到菜园在下面的图片,以及我们的太阳系被控草坪割草机的一部分的方式,通过刈割的后院草坪。

In在…内 Part 5第5部分 we showed pictures of the baby Robins maturing in their nest underneath our deck in the back yard.我们显示的照片,婴儿罗宾斯成熟,在他们的巢之下,我们的甲板,在后院。 They are gone now.他们是经历了现在。

It took approximately 2 and 1/2 weeks from the time they hatched from the eggs until they flew the coop.花了大约2和1 / 2星期的时间,他们从孵化蛋,直至他们飞抵合作机制。 Sure, we will miss them.当然,我们会怀念他们。 But we have a great story to tell.但我们有一个伟大的故事,告诉。

Baby Robins

On the evening when they were about to leave, the first baby Robin jumped down from the next to the lawn in the back yard; quite a feat in itself as it was a 7 foot drop. The bird just sat there on the grass a mere 10 feet from the sliding doors in the basement out to the backyard.当天晚上,当他们即将离开,第一婴儿罗宾跳楼从旁边的草坪上,在后院;不少的壮举在本身,因为这是一个7英尺的下降。鸟只是坐在那里的基层,只是一〇英尺从拉门,在地下室到后院。

Well, our pet dog, Sandy, wanted to go out the back yard to (so we thought) do her ‘business’那么,我们的宠物狗,沙地,希望走出去的后院(因此,我们以为)做她的『商贸』 :-) . However, she was really spying on what was happening in the backyard and wanted to see what was up.不过,她真的是间谍对正在发生什么,在后院,并想看看是什么。

New Watering Can

So, Cath went downstairs and let her out, only to find her making a bee-line to the Robin on the ground.因此,猫到楼下,让她出去,才发现她作出了养蜂线向罗宾在地面上。 Uh-Oh!嗯哦!

Now, the baby Robin survived the 7 foot drop but could not or did not want to fly away.现在,婴儿罗宾幸存下来的七足下垂,但不能或不想飞走。 So, with it’s brothers and sisters watching and cheering it on from the nest upon high, the baby Robin on the ground wanted to get away from Sandy as fast as it could.因此,与它的兄弟姐妹们观看和助威,这对从巢后,高,婴儿罗宾在地面上要摆脱沙质快,因为它可以。 So, what did it do?所以,怎么用它来干什么? It hopped all the entire length of our back yard … approximately 50 feet!它的跳频所有的整个长度,我们的后院…大约50英尺! However, picture this.不过,这图片。 A young Robin hopping the entire length of the back yard to reach the fence in the back yard and the forest beyond with our pet dog, Sandy, low to the ground sniffing it all the way.一个年轻的罗宾跳频整个长度的后院,以达到围栏,在后院和森林以外的与我们的宠物狗,沙地,低到地面嗅天拿水,它所有的方法。

Quite a funny sight.相当有趣的视线。

Robin Parent

However, the parent Robins were watching what was going on and quickly sprung into action.不过,家长罗宾斯看发生什么事情,并迅速,涌现出转化为行动。

Picture this, if you will:这个图片,如果你将:
