I have searched high and low to find the highly sought-after peppermint tree

 

 

I FOUND SOME !!!!!!!

 

WOW!! they have never seen it before but they flocked to it like humas to a gold mine

AND, they actually EAT it, not just play with it :D

I have only found 1 tree and it's right in front of some ones house (on the nature strip) so i only took a little today .Now i am on the search to find one that is on bigger public land so i can snatch some more without upsetting anyone

 

I have some VERY VERY happy birds at the moment hhehehehehe

Great job !! You will find it was commonly planted by shire councils around parks and schools and on a lot of street verges. Easy to find once you know what you are looking for

It's not all that common here is SA. a relative has told me there is a street full in Elizabeth somewhere but he wasn't sure where

 

There is a small group of them along center of the Main North Road but thats a 4 lane highway and i am not risking my life to get some from there! :hap:

 

I will keep a close eye out at my local parks incase there is a tree that i have missed

 

I am so pleased that i have finally found some. yay yay yay !!!!!! :(Laughing out loud):

Those ones will carry pollutants and toxins from the cars exhaust anyway

Congratulations on finding some :hap:

your budgies looks like the are really enjoying them.

Hey Liv ... did you ride yer bicycle to get the contraband branches ?

 

Actually I have an idea for you ... call up your local tree surgeons/or tree trimmers. They are in the phone books. Tell them what you are looking for & what area you are in & they will be pretty helpful & tell you where to go.

 

I did that when I was looking for a certain type of tree to find some pine cones for a class experiment. I had lotsa people tell me where to go !

I had lotsa people tell me where to go !

 

why am I not surprised

Hiya Liv,

 

It is an amazing reaction from the budgies, isn't it? Do as I do, carry secatuers with you wherever you go, just in case you see a suitable branch donating peppermint tree.
