New birdfeeder!

8 comments

My birdfeeder finally arrived after much waiting (14 days!) and I’ve set it up on the balcony:

I put it near the Boston fern hoping that the greenery and the impatiens nearby (and the tomatoes) will entice the birds to come or at least draw their attention!

I bought the feeder on-line, it’s a Duncraft model and seems sturdy and well-made. So I am very pleased with it and it WAS cheaper to buy it on-line.

The clay bowl is filled with water, I stacked it so that it would be a little higher off the ground.

I’m not sure that the birds have found the feeder yet, but I’m hoping they will soon…then again, there do seem to be some seeds scattered in the water and the feeder tray that weren’t there before…so maaaaybe they already had a nice meal!

I have asked Santa for some small windchimes to put between the railings, we’ll see if he come through or if the letter gets lost on the way to the North Pole! I’ve been a good girl Santa, REALLY I have! LOL

I feed the birds a mix of nuts and seeds called: Nut N’ Berry from Wild Delight and it says that it contains “a premium wild bird food containing hulled seeds, sunflower seeds, nutmeats, raisins and fruits. Attracts and feeds songbirds, woodpeckers, cardinals, finches, titmice, jays, grosbeaks, tanagers, buntings, nuthatches, chickadees, [and this next part makes me laugh] and other outdoor pets.” Mmmm I think they’re referring to our friends the seasonal squirrels! =) I also love how it feels the need to state “Not for human consumption” which you would think people would know, and even so, if it’s good for the birds if should be good for us, no? lol

Maybe a book on birds wouldn’t go amiss among my requests for Santa!
