Our friends in the garden
Tui, fantails, wax eyes and native pigeons are
here in the garden at Stafford Villa. Tui’s are great
survivors, we have our very own senior Tui who sits on the
Avocado tree outside the conservatory and sings for a mate
year after year. He is joined by Piwakawaka (fantails),
wax eyes, sparrows, thrush, and blackbirds - English birds
that we see all year around also a family of doves that
coo away to one another. Stafford Villa has an older type
garden with mature native vegetation, fig, plum, peach trees..
