Feed the Birds

So much fun seeing the variety of birds at our bird feeders.
Having a heated bird bath gives the birds a source of water.

We have really enjoyed watching the birds at our bird feeders this winter! All the snow makes them come looking to see what snacks they can find in our yard. We have eight feeders and fill them with a variety of types of bird feed including Wild Bird Seed, Black Oil Sunflower Seeds, Finch Food and Mealworm Snacks.

Get such a variety of birds – cardinals, blue jays, purple and yellow finches, juncos, downy woodpeckers, sparrows and an occasional starling.

We got started on our bird watching kick when our youngest daughter gave us a window feeder. I put on the window by my computer and enjoyed it so much I put two more on our living room window. Sometimes there will be five-six birds in each feeder. These would be great if you have little kids or grandkids! It does take about two weeks for the birds to come on a regular basis.

A good feeder to start with.

This is the feeder that started our bird feeding this winter.

I put two of these on our living room windows so we can enjoy the birds all day

Our window bird feeders (the ones shown in the images above) were ordered from Amazon, but your local discount and farm supply stores probably have a variety of bird feeders.

Enjoy the snow – and watch the birds flock to your yard.
