Boxed accommodation

There was a man

 up a tree in the garden today.

By trade an arborist,

 today he was working in the housing sector. 

The native animal housing sector that is:

bird abodes,

bat beds,

and possum palaces

The local Environmental Work Engine

has 250 nest boxes to install.

These will go a little way to replacing

some of the tree hollows and natural nesting spots

destroyed in the 2009 bush fires.

This is just a sample of the different boxes

designed for the housing needs

of the various mammals and birds.

They come with an information sheet 

about monitoring the boxes,

with instructions on what to do

if non-native squatters move in.

There are even phone numbers 

of people to contact to assist with the eviction

of unwanted tenants such as 

the introduced indian myna bird,

or wasps or bees if 

I am unable to do it myself.

And...even a little book about the birds 

indigenous to this particular little part of the world.
