After the typhoon and there was no electricity, me and my family stay most of the time in the garden. We are already there as early as 5:30 in the morning because we slept as soon as we switched on the generator at 8:00 PM. It was just perfect because our body clock had already been tuned in to the incoming school opening. Anyway, it is during these early hours that birds are also very busy chirping overhead. Little did we know that they had built again their own nest underneath our air conditioner.

This had happened so many times before but since we generally clean all air conditions inside the house every six months, the birds had gotten tired rebuilding their nest every so often. And so we thought there would never be a nest under the air conditioner again, until this time.

Why, there are still plenty of trees left after the storm. These birds love to stay under the air conditioner. Maybe they also feel better underneath than when they are on the branches of trees.
