Bird feeders galore!

So far, I’ve put up three all-purpose feeders that will accommodate a variety of seeds, two hummingbird feeders, an oriole feeder, a finch feeder and a suet feeder. I’ve also added a large bird bath near our kitchen window and hung a very small one near the finch feeder. And I’m afraid that it’s only the beginning; I may add more bird stuff. Well, I’m not afraid, actually, my husband is. I’m having a grand old time.
But you know, despite my family’s fear that I may be developing yet another obsession, similar to my betta and houseplant craze (couldn’t settle for just one betta fish and a few houseplants), they’re enjoying the end result of this super bird-friendly backyard. One thing’s for sure: ‘If you feed them, the birds will come’. To date we’ve managed to see Cardinals, Orioles, Goldfinches, Robins, Sparrows, Blue Jays, Red-Winged Blackbirds, Hummingbirds, Mourning Doves and an assortment of other birds that I’ve yet to identify. Our backyard is brimming with beautiful colours and a flurry of activity, not to mention all the soothing bird sounds.
Sure I may be going a little overboard, but it seems to me that everyone is enjoying the benefits of my madness.
This is too funny isn't it ? .. we both see each other's back yards and bird feeders via our blogs .. I am laughing as I type this !
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you started a blog so I can actually see how things are going .. next it will be live cam of your feeders so we can see birds 24/7 having a great time at the garden resteraunt that you have going Martha !
Hi Joy! This is so much fun; a lot more than I expected. And you know, it hasn't been as difficult to keep up with as I expected. I've been writing a few posts at a time and scheduling each one for a different day. So whenever I have some free time, which is rare these days, I can whip up a few posts for my blog...even if they have to be short and sweet.
ReplyDeleteI intend to add more and more photos of the backyard, especially of the areas that will eventually be restructured (garden-wise). It'll be like a before and after view. Hopefully the after is the improvement...har har har...
