I'm going to go out on a limb and guess this is a 1st, at least for the aloe plants for you to address. I live in Chiang Mai Thailand, and my condo came with a nice little garden box on the patio, which includes a nice, healthy aloe plant. This past week, a pair of very tiny birds that resemble sparrows, only MUCH smaller, that I take to be a variety of "fly ctacher", have decided to build a nest in my aloe plant. My question is, do you see any issues with this, and if so, is there anything I can do to mitigate it short of eviction? Frankly, if it comes to it, i'd be willing to sacrifice the plant for the sake of the birds(cute little buggers), but obviously, the plants health is good for both me AND the birds- I get free sunburn medicine, they get free lodging. The built in box gets good indirect sun and has built in drainage, so it suits the aloe, it's 14 stories up, so protects the birds from predators. I'd like to think all three of us species can co-exist, but advice is welcome.
