Swings for the birdies

Next to the bird bath we have these lantana creepers cascading down. I had created swings with them - atleast I feel that could be fine for birdies to perch on them and swing along
They have yet to use them but I know they will as I often see them perched on twigs that provide a swinging feel for them.
Lantana also known as curtain creepers do act as curtains when their growth is dense and the creepers cascade down touching ech other My mother had used them as curtains that hid their portico from passers by

@allknowing It would be great. I made some little nests that I placed in the green hedge. I have seen a bird using one.

I have seen them swinging on very thin branches and so hope they will use these as well.

The garden is designed with birds in mind and yet I do not see their nests

@allknowing Many years I do not see nests but I see the babies when they fledge. Some nests are well hidden, and protected.

The swings you created look really nice. I'm sure the birds will find it fun using them.

@Beestring It is not that easy. I have taken many photos when they frolic in the birdbath where they spend more time but here when they spot me they will fly away. Keeping my fingers crossed though

They are kind of invaders in our garden I have to repeatedly uproot them.
