Such an endearing image that I can only imagine must speak to the intriguing personalities of these little birds. Nice texture on the bird feeder. Do you have to buy special bird seed and/or special bird feeders for certain birds?
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! @bkbinthecity Thanks Brian! @mzzhope Thanks Hope! They are fun to watch. @taffy Thanks Taffy! @twr Thanks Timothy! @yaorenliu Thanks Yao! They don't seem to mind but it is hard to imagine for oneself! @alia_801 Thanks Alia! @nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole! That could be true- and they are very quick. @sangwann Thanks Dione! And birds are only the beginning of those curious critters in nature! @digitalrn Thanks Rick! Yes, I guess it does! @kerristephens Thanks Kerri! @cimes1 Thanks Carole! @jesperani Thanks Jennifer! @edie Thanks Edie! @dakotaburns Thanks Donald! lol yes, good point!! @archaeofrog Thanks Katie! They are a lot of fun to watch. @pennyp Thanks Penny! My little p & s decided to be cooperative today which I was very happy for. Sometimes the birds just come out as a blur! @gratefulness Thanks Sandi! Yes, for some birds there are certain seed mixtures that they prefer. But since I'm on a limited budget, I tend to go generic- that is I get the traditional yellow bird seed and sunflower seed mix because it's the most popular with a large variety of birds. In this feeder I put a home-made version of suet that I make. It's pretty simple- equal portions of peanut butter melted in a bowl and Crisco shortening, birdseed and flour added to stiffen and thicken it up. I chill it in the frig until I can cut it into pieces and put it in the feeder. The Chickadees, Nuthatches, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Wren, Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers and the Yellow-bellied woodpecker all love it. There are better formulas, but this one is inexpensive and it gets gobbled up with no problem as you can see!
@summerfield Thanks Vikki! I will have to check that out tomorrow. If I don't turn off the computer and have some chamomile tea, I will be up until 3 AM! Nighty night!
