I now have 5 Perons Tree frogs living in on my Balcony
I had 1 Perons Tree frog move into a bucket I have under my potted Rhubarb on my 1st floor balcony about 6 weeks ago but it seems to like company bringing other Perons tree frogs back to stay in his/her bucket. I noticed today after 3 weeks of having 3 I now have 5 Perons tree frogs living in this very confined area. I live on a very steep block with lots of huge gum trees & other natives like wattle trees. I have watched these little frogs leave each night & have seen them jump a good 25 to 30 ft from my 1st floor balcony onto a concrete driveway, they are always back in their bucket by daybreak. I Love my little flat mates they're so interesting to watch. I drilled a hole about 3" above the base of the bucket & just water my plant each day keeping the water level good for my frogs The frogs also fertilise my plant & keep mozzles away. .

Thanks for your suggestion but I have a strict hands off policy when it comes to native creatures I share my environment with. I believe if you read the statute it's illegal to interfere with these native visitors in any way, that's why I drilled a hole 3" up the side of the bucket so when we have a lot of rain I don't have to disturb the frogs when draining the excess water from the bucket. I figure they can come & go as they please so if they didn't like that spot they wouldn't keep coming back to it. 

I finally have a photo of one of my wild Perons tree frogs
I finally managed to get a photo of one of the Perons tree frogs that have taken up residence in my bucket. Hope you like it.
