One of the reasons I ordered this panda was because I thought it might scare off the ducks that would visit my front porch. I don't think he scared the ducks, but surely by destiny Tian Shan ended up at the right place - right next to my Chinese plant and Philippine made planter sitting along side his Asian elements. He is very subtle and almost hidden when one walks up to the house hiding under the leaves where he neatly rests chewing his bamboo. He serves not only as a pleasant greeter, but also hides an electrical cord. I knew it was all meant to be when an unsuspecting neighbor stopped me on the way to my mailbox and said, "I love the panda." Guess what? - so do I.
