Mr BoBo (my MotMot Buddy) & other animals that called The House of Connections • House of SELF Empowerment their home!!

Isn't that Bamboo Bird Feeder BB made COOL?!?!?!?!! I've counted at least 20 different birds - even 2+ BEAUTIFUL BoBo's/MotMot birds (THE #1 reason I had the feeder made!!) and our friendly squirrel "Spaz" & 4-5 other friends of his!! How many BoBo's can you see here (hint - 2), Other birds (1), Squirrels (1). All birds, etc. roam FREE at the House of CONNECTIONS Guesthouse (that has to do with my issue of not wanting anyone to "capture" me)!!

Our Mascot - One of the BEAUTIFUL BoBo's (aka a MotMot) on our feeder. Proof that you don't have to cage animals in to get them to want to be with you!! Every morning I get up & if he's not already waiting for me, I call out "Mr. BoBo, Bananas" & 95% of the time, within 2 minutes, he comes from wherever he is for his bananas! Followed by about 10-15 other birds (unfortunately, also 4-5 squirrels also [aka "Banditos" because they eat all the paharos/birds bananas!!) (photo THANX to Terrye Hoffman with www.PrairieSkiesTech.com)

My BEAUTIFUL BoBo/MotMot Buddy!!!

Close up BoBo's / MotMot's in a tree (waiting to be fed! You don't need to cage an animal to get it to want to visit you!!!)

Guest Rob feeding a banana to Spaz (she ESPECIALLY LOVES almonds & bananas so if you want to be her friend - feel free to bring some!!! [do so at YOUR OWN RISK as she IS a WILD ANIMAL & can bite if you're not careful])

I had this created by one of the workers where I used to live - BB. This design can have multi-purposes! I used it as a bird/squirrel feeder (hours of entertainment!). OR, You can grow herbs, lettuce, flowers & all sorts of stuff (all depending on how big the bamboo is). You can also get vine-y things like beans which will also create a privacy barrier!! Another trick I learned is instead of putting rocks at the bottom of the dirt (to help with drainage), break up a bunch of styrofoam things (to-go boxes, coffee cups+)!! (best not to do it with food related things if you're concerned with being organic, etc.) You can hang this from a roof or ceiling or hang it from a wall. If you drill holes in the bottom for drainage, you'll need to put it outside. If not, you can put this inside.

This is the King of the roust - Mr. BoBo!!! Most mornings I step out onto the patio & there's my BoBo Buddy!! If he's not there, 95% of the time all I have to do is call "Mr. BoBo - Bananas!!" & he usually comes within 2 minutes!! It's not unusual to have THREE BoBo's (MotMots) hanging around the patio/trees/bamboo feeder!
