Laura & CTB Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I've had my girls for just over 3 months now and am having a great time with them .....however in the last week they have become vandals 1. Digging up all the dirt from under the hedge (that they ate ) and chucking it all over the decking 2. Kicking up all the gravel by my water feature and chucking it all over the decking 3. Pecking out beakfuls of earth from my flower pots, eating some and chucking the rest all over the decking What used to be a five minute job each day of cleaning eglu etc is now five minutes cleaning eglu and half an hour cleaning garden....

chocchick Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Maybe you should move everything onto the decking so that they kick it off the decking Little horrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleHen Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Laura - this sounds so like our situation - we have LOTS of gravel and it needs brushing back into place every time after they have been out.. Although our last house had no gravel - we did have a lawn, and I think I prefer brushing back gravel to the impossible task of trying to keep mending the lawn...

chelsea Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 my girls also like potted plants - and because my garden is predominantly decking and gravel we have a lot of pots. The girls like nothing better than scatting off the decorative coloured glass gravel I have on top of the compost in the pots and tucking into the compost! naughty blighters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
