Why Feed Birds?

The current issue of Birds & Blooms magazine features an article called "Why Feed Birds?" wherein various contributors "share why they feed feathered friends."

They came up with all sorts of lovely reasons . . . but none of them mentioned one of the big reasons I feed birds.

And why?

To provide entertainment to my goggie and kittehs, of course!



And it's not just the birdies that are so much fun, it's also the squirrels the birdseed attracts!




But alas, the fun is over for awhile.

Night before last a big wind blew through and knocked over the arbor vitae next to the birdfeeder. The feeder is under there.

Somewhere.

AWWW. That was a good tree! We only have a balcony, but I loved to feed the birds and see the squirrels too... We had a small plastic feeder that suctioned to the window, and the skwerl was too fat to fit his little butt into it, so he chewed through the side. To make a place for his tail to stick out.

*sigh*
