If you have a kin heart please get a bird feeder, some feed and help tired birds to find food fast and easy.
They bring life and singing into your neighborhood. Many birds did not survived harsh winters of the past and our area has been depleted. Please help the birds to find easy feed and enjoy their presence.

Feeders can be bought on amazon, or other online venues, and also locally at Home Depot or Hardware store etc.

The feeder can be had for as little as 10 dollars and a huge bag of food some 20lbs or so can be had for some 15 dollars. Also birds feed is sold in any Pet store, Home Depot and Safeway and other supermarkets and hardware stores.

Birds will have a time and a chance to grow and accumulate the body fat essential to survive the winter.

Thank you!

PS. There are a whole lot of bird haters out there and to you - please do not post on this thread, this is for bird lovers only.
















Yes! We do have Colibri in our area! If you build it they will come!

I think you'd be better off fighting for local laws that force harsh penalties for owners of cats who wander off their own property. Cats kill tons of wildlife, mostly birds.

The birds in my neighborhood seem pretty happy and healthy.

I found a bird’s nest inside a wall of the house. Do you know how long they use the nest for? I want to repair a couple of holes but I want to wait until they leave.

I love birds too but I seriously thought we are only supposed to put food out in the winter when food is scarce?

I’ve had year-round bird feeders since moving into my house 20 years ago. I put out peanuts, sunflower seeds and a blend of seeds. Everyone goes home happy, including the squirrels. I detest the stray cats that stalk the feeder.
Water is very important too, especially in summer. The birds will great appreciate a fountain or a birdbath.

I have not seen ONE single wandering cat in our area ever.

Definite bonus.

Thanks for feeding the birds and providing them with water.

Yes, wait till they leave but then research. I am not sure about the exact details, I think it varies by bird. Some reuse the nests others don't.

Got it covered.

Two bird large feeders, two hummingbird feeders, 3 different kinds of seeds to attract all kinds of birds, bird bath a must. The wild rabbits love eating the sprouts from the seeds. My husband also puts piles of seeds on the driveway to attract the smaller birds and doves.

It's like a zoo at our house. I even found an abandoned kitten sleeping in our garage. No mother in sight. I really didn't want another one but he's ours now and I love him. We got him a playmate because my husband thinks everyone needs someone to love. Both will have a very good life.

Life truly is beautiful.

Except for those house wren. They poop on my front door and threshold. I have to clean it daily.

Awesome! So great to hear, thank you in the name of those who come to your bird-ly cafeteria

Two questions:

How do you keep mosquitos from lying eggs in your birdbath?

Does anyone know what the cute black and grey birds at my feeder are called? It is a very sharply delineated pattern—looks like they are wearing little formal wear or something.

With the birdbath please wait for someone who is an expert. We have a little pond nearby so birds have a short flight and I also avoid still water due to mosquitos near the house. If I were to buy a bird bath I would probably get one of those solar ones with a pump that
makes water to move. I know mosquitos do not like moving water so that might do the trick.

As to the birds, here is a bird guide for Maryland, if you are in MD, this will work but also might work for DC and VA since we are all connected here. Please try to locate your bird and let us know if yo find it. I am curious.
