New Entry in the Thrushie War
Posted by gerald in Life on St. John USVI, tags: mango, mangoesEvery year I wage war against the evil Thrushie Bird, the prize being my delicious mangoes. This year a new and unlikely villain has appeared on the scene.
This fellow is even worse than the thrushie. He has a big beak abnd takes big bites. In this case the thrushie got jealous when it saw the parrot eating a mango and scared it away.
But this year I get up early in the morning (the early bird) and harvest the ripe ones before the “teefs” arrive.

My friend puts a small plastic baggie around the nearly ripe fruit so that the marauders won’t eat it before it is perfect to be picked.
I’m liking the parrot.
