Meet Harry the Horse who hangs on our stable walls. Not only a clever sculpture, Harry has for years played host to a family of little birds 🐦🐦 they come and go through his eyes, nesting inside - and on the odd occasion he sneezes one out of his nose 😂

How good is the camouflage on the female Gang-gang cockatoo 😊 Wouldn't have had a clue they were there if they weren't busy eating gumnuts and dropping them all over the entrance to the Dome. The boys pink head gave him away a bit more though 😂
