Free Entertainment – For Feeding Birds!
Never in my LIFE – have I had the free time to watch the Birds and be entertained! Why do we almost let LIFE pass us bye, without having just a little more time to enjoy – that which is FREE and FUN for the eyes?
This winter, we put outside Bird-feeders and plenty of food – for all kinds of Birds! The near-by trees have families of Cardinals and Blue Jays and some unknown birds occupy the Purple Martin house that is also in our yard. Before, like last summer – some Cardinals would come to the porch and walk along the rail and were just letting me know – we could be here often if you would feed us?
Well, the message came through – loud and clear! With the four shelves counter set-up – each shelf has a Frisbee –used as a feeder – filled with just the right mix – all birds just love!
There is one little – brownish color – so small and delicate bird that comes hoping along the floor of the porch – looking for left-over crumbs – that I have given her a special name “Scruncher!” She scoots along the floor – searching for just her size of food – and she stays out of all the birds, way! Just watching her – hop and grab some little morsel – just makes me feel good that all GODs fair-feather creatures are provided for.
Did you know the birds are polite? Several birds will decide to come to munch at the same time – some land right near to the Frisbee feeder – the others will sit on the porch rail and just wait – some will take note that no one is on a lower shelf and zero on down and just plant their self right into the Frisbee and just eat in peace and quiet – while some others wait “patiently” until their turn – to feast. And then, there must be some of the “BIRDS” from the same house-hold and they will each take a place in the Frisbee and enjoy a meal, together!
Then, there is the Cardinal Mama, which comes with her “first-time FLYERS” – teaching the new generation the “TRICKS of the TRADE” – follow MAMA and do as I do – and you will know where it is safe to eat a free meal!
My reward: getting to watch a small sample on “Heaven on Earth” and the best of all – to be able to hear – all the Birds – Sing their very own Songs!
