Title: birdfeeders
Post by: Gerianne on October 23, 2012, 06:41:33 am

Does anyone have a birdfeeder?
 I have seen some wth  a variety of birdseed to attract a number of species.
Home residents watch all the different birds come to eat.
It can be entertaining.

I used to feed the birds but birdseed became too costly and I had to quit feeding them.

Birdfeeders are also a great way to detract the present of mosquitoes.   ;)

We used to have one before we moved to the place we're at now. Don't really know where it is right now. Probably buried under some stuff in the garage.

I don't have one now, but I used to.  I enjoyed relaxing on my porch and watching the birds and the squirrels.  :)

We have bird-feeders, along with birdbaths, too.  It's neat watching the different birds migrate through, as well as many who permanently live in the area.  It's cute watching them scold each other, fight over the "best" spots, flirt with each other, and also watching them training their little ones. 

I keep binoculars on hand, and have a journal/pen nearby, and a slew of bird books and guides.  Our whole family is into bird-watching now, including snapping pictures of any new birds coming through. :)

We have a bird feeder up all year long.  It is fun to watch the birds, the bluejays are really just plain hogs, they will eat everything up very quickly, especially if the food has corn in it. We have a small bush by the feeder and the birds love that. They light on the branches and then hop into the feeder.

I own a hummingbird feeder, but haven't found the best spot to hang it yet.  I don't have a regular bird feeder, but my boyfriend will throw stale cereal and bread out in the yard for them sometimes.  It makes my cat nuts when the yard is full of noisy birds and she can only watch from the window.

Even without a bird feeder, we have all kinds of small birds frequent the place nearby to our home. I really enjoy watching them, and they come in large numbers, and fly away all at once, as though they have some kind of signal between them.
