野鳥が飛来する庭を目指す

　これからの目標の一つに、野鳥が来る庭をめざしてます。大きなマユミの木が玄関前にありますが、その種が零れ、今では2本の子供が成長しつつあります。不思議なことに、そのうち１本は親より赤い実【右】が生ります。メンデルの分離の法則なのでしょう。

　メジロは必ず２羽で飛来します。おそらくカップルでしょう。羨ましい限りです。ご覧のように、逆さまにながら蜜を吸ってます。私たち人間には分かりませんが、この木の密が美味しいことを先天的に知ってます。彼らのためにも樹木を大きく育てたいですが、マユミが成長するには年数がかかります。もうすぐ５本の梅が咲くので今度は梅の蜜を吸いに来ます。

　野鳥たちは四季を通じて賑やかで、この他、ヒヨドリなどは梅の蜜、柿の実、枇杷の実など甘いものを啄みます。私ができることは、これらの植物を育てることで彼らに餌を提供しつつ、毎日、新しい飲み水を庭に用意して置きます。山鳩や小鳥たちは天気の良い午前中にこの飲み水で水浴びします。これから春となり、野鳥の飛来がますます楽しみです。

Dear my overseas friends

　The simultaneous interpretation for your understanding will be after my breakfast in Japan time.

　One of my future purposes is to have a garden that attracts wild birds. There is a large Mayumi tree in front of my entrance, but its seeds have spilled out several years ago and now her two children are growing. Strangely enough, one of them produces fruit [right] that is redder than the parent. It's probably Mendel's law of separation.

　White-eyes always fly in pairs. Probably a couple. I'm so jealous. As you can see, it sucks nectar while upside down. We humans don't understand that the tree has nectar, but they will innately know that the nectar of this tree is delicious. I would like to raise a large tree for them, but it will take many years for Mayumi to grow. The five plum trees will bloom soon, so they come to suck the nectar again soon.

　Wild birds are lively throughout the year, and other birds such as bulbuls suck on sweets such as plum nectar, persimmon fruit, and loquat fruit. What I can do is provide food for them by raising these plants, at the same time, providing fresh drinking water in the garden every day. Turtledoves bathe in this drinking water in the morning when the weather is nice. Spring is coming soon in Japan so that I'm looking forward to seeing more and more wild birds flying in my garden.
