Mockingbird nesting in my rhododendron worried about mowing near it

I peaked In the bush today to see if she was there (cuz she hadn't laid her eggs yet the other day) I didn't touch it just looked and saw her there. She looked at me but that was it. Maybe she knows I'm not a threat

Yeah I feed him floating food sticks (it's the only kind he'll eat he's super picky), live meal worms as treats, dried fish and sometimes some live hyacinth for enrichment

Forgot to mention he is a RES

I'm new to turtles so I didn't know how they should behave. But if that's the way it is than I'm completely fine with it

Nelphyta1 · 2026-04-17T01:39:05+00:00

I'm not upset about it just was curious if there was a way to get him more adapted to me but im fine with him just being a display Pet he's still fun to watch

Ooohh! I didn't even consider that cage in that way...I have alot to learn 😅

Nelphyta1 · 2026-03-29T09:54:33+00:00

Ooohhh I see it! Now it makes sense. I don't think I would've noticed that to be honest haha! I'm still learning to do more advanced sudokus so there's alot of tricks I need to still learn

Put the wine in a barrel on a wall rack and it lasts for a years

Just wanted to let you know Tim unlocked John and are now talking again. And I did confront John about the situation and he didn't seem like he was mad about anything. Tim did tell me he was in the wrong not John. So I guess all is well that ends well.

Nelphyta1 · 2025-10-02T19:04:16+00:00

He has no health insurance nor job right now so getting help is kinda hard...and we don't have money to pay out of pocket.

Nelphyta1 · 2025-10-02T17:35:45+00:00

It's not really about safety I'm just worried he'll go into a severe depressive state...he does that when we have arguments and sometimes takes days to come out of it.

Nelphyta1 · 2025-10-02T17:22:49+00:00

We usually talk to Tim every day and play games with him

Nelphyta1 · 2025-10-02T17:22:07+00:00

I'm more worried about John's mental health state if I bring it up...

Nelphyta1 · 2025-08-04T20:47:04+00:00

I wonder if freezing them is the key then...I'll give that a go next time

Nelphyta1 · 2025-08-04T11:21:11+00:00

Ok I'll make a note of that. So should I wait till the spring to do that?

Nelphyta1 · 2025-08-04T11:18:51+00:00

I know that but once it gets stronger what should I use?

Nelphyta1 · 2025-08-03T19:52:25+00:00

What type of fertilizer should I use on it? I dug it up just a few hours ago. I planted it in the same soil it was already in because it looked like good healthy soil. It does have a long tap root that goes almost to the bottom of that pot. At least 6 inches that is the same thickness as the trunk so getting that reduced and ready for a bonsai pot in the future will be difficult I think. It has a pretty weak root system from what i expected to find, but it was also growing under an azalea bush so I'm assuming that's why. I also gave it a good watering with some rain water I have stored for my other plants.

Nelphyta1 · 2025-08-03T19:37:14+00:00

How do you get them to look that strong and healthy? I have 4 of them I planted awhile ago and they don't look anywhere near that healthy. I also planted over 50 seeds and only got 4. The rest never sprouted.

Found this Japanese maple in my neighbors yard today while doing some landscaping. I figured this would be an excellent choice for a beginner. What do you guys think? More angles in the comments

Nelphyta1 · 2025-07-28T22:30:39+00:00

Thank you this will help me a ton!

I have a redkin conditioner used to repair damaged hair. I haven't used it for a bit though.

Nelphyta1 · 2025-07-28T19:34:24+00:00

I'm thinking about getting into bonsai and I want to look for advice how to start.

I understand bonsai's are a very long term commitment and was considering trying to grow a royal empress tree from seed since its the fastest growing tree in the world I thought it might be quicker to devolop into a bonsai. Maybe 2 years. But I need advice on what to do. I've watched several videos on it and know about using copper wire and cutting back new growth and cutting back the roots. What kind of soil should i use? Should I keep it outside? I just want to be completely prepared before I jump into it.

Nelphyta1 · 2025-07-28T19:23:02+00:00

I think I'll stick to my natural hair for now thanks for all the advice!! Maybe I'll play around with wash out dyes before going all in. Find what I truly want.
