The 'nawww' factor

These babies seem to think that by hiding in the tyre I can't see them.

As great a duckling hidey hole as they make, the tyres actually have a different purpose.  They are there to 'strengthen' the walls of the bird house to stop the pigs (blipped earlier in the week) from forcing their way in.  Pre-tyre strengthening they staged a number of ram raids - eating all the duck/chook/peacock food that is kept in a shed in the bird house.  Naughty pigs!

The tyres, AND electric perimeter fence help remind the pigglies that they're not allowed!
