Today I am grateful for our neighbourhood birds - Sparrows, Finches, Blackbirds, Wax Eyes and a few others I can't identify.
We have a small section where we live but we do have a couple of areas where we can feed the birds. It's something my daughter loves doing, but I do too. I enjoy watching the wee birds get some food. Especially this time of year when food is hard to come by for them.
I hope to be able to make a bird house to feed birds from when we are at our next house. I like to feed them but I want to keep them safe from the cats too.
We went to the pet shop and bought some food for small birds and it's perfect. It doesn't tempt the larger birds around so the wee tiny birds (baby birds as my daughter refers to them) gets the food without being chased away.
It's such a delightful thing to do and part of our day now is to feed the birds. We throw some out and wait for the first one to spot it, then we the rest soon arrive.
This was from the weekend when we had what looked like most of the sparrows from the area on our tiny lawn.
It kept us entertained for a while and made us smile.
