My neighbours have a fig tree. In the morning, lorikeets come for breakfast. During the day, noisy miners, who seem to eat both the fruit and maybe pick off bugs? Then at night it’s possum and bat shift. I’ve also seen a butcher bird sitting in it with a skink in its beak. This tree is feeding a whole neighbourhood of wildlife. It’s lovely to see.
so cool 🤗
watch out for silver eyes, they love fig trees as well

I have several fig trees behind my house. Apart from animals, it attracts local old wogs who bring bags and ladders to get free fruit.
I usually stare at them from my kitchen window and make them uncomfortable.
Trees are on council land, but the oldies think they're mine.
