Are you a true bird lover?  What do you think about this feeder?  I think this is a wonderful idea!  It is fun to be outdoors and watch the birds, but this is the ultimate.  You can be sitting in your living room and the birds will come in to your room.  Well almost.  This way you can see them up close.

Who among us isn’t fascinated seeing a hummingbird?  They are truly miraculous.  Of course all birds are when you consider flight.

Hummingbirds can literally hover motionless in one spot while they sip the nectar from their favorite flower or from your feeder.  They are truly spectacular to view.

bird feeders

Have you ever really thought about the birds?  Where they find their food?  With all the developement of our natural areas many species of birds and animals are losing their food and source of shelter.

You can help them by placing birdfeeders throughout your yard and providing them with some nourishment as they travel throughout your area.

Boy is it cold outside.  Many of our featured friends fly south for the winter.  Yet some do stay behind.  Food is often scarce in the winter. Why not give them a little help?  A birdfeeder placed stategicly would be wonderful for them.

We have always enjoyed watching the birds while they eat, bathe and play.  It is so relaxing.

 Squirrels, Don’t you just love them? 

Do you love having those squirrels in your backyard cleaning out your birdfeeders daily (hourly)?  If you are prepared to go to war I can give you several ideas on how to keep the seed in your feeders.

You might try one thing and it will work for awhile and then you will have to change your strategy and try something else.Lets start with squirrels are lazy and if you give them what they desire where they can get to it easily, they will leave your feeders alone (for a while).  Try putting some of there favorite foods on the ground away from the bird feeder,  They like peanuts, sunflower seeds and corn.  

When this approach quits working we will try another.  

Stay tuned

Fill your Birdfeeders and they will come

The beautfully colored male cardinal is a fixture around backyard birdfeeders through out the United States and Canada.  What a time for seeing the beautiful red northern cardinals around your birdfeeders.

By filling your feeders with seed and mostly sunflower seeds you will see the beautiful birds all winter long in your back yard. The northern cardinal is found in residential areas throughout the United States and an increase in backyard feeding by humans is generally beneficial.
