My hubby picked up a bird feeder a few days ago (the kind that suction to a glass window, etc) and to entice the birds, he scattered seed in the yard as well. We didn't see any birds for a couple of days, but when we opened the blinds for our Java Finches this morning, we chased off 3 pairs of Cardinals! Stew Face 1 They came right back and it was so neat to watch them so upclose! Eventually there was a variety of birds feeding Mr. Green Our girls love to wake up and bird watch now. What a fun morning!

I love seeing all the birds that my feeding station attracts - couldn't go for a day without checking 'who' is out and about in the garden. So pleased to hear that you are getting a variety of birds to your feeder. You must try to take some piccies of them for us. Stew Face 1

That would be so nice to see.If I did that I'd have every cat in the neighborhood sitting licking there lips in an attempt to snag a beautiful
feathered dinner for themselves.

I love sitting out at the picnic table, in the spring to fall and have my tea and watch the birds at my feeders.
