On the subject of birds!
On the subject of birds! I know to some it sounds very boring to read about a subject seems so trivial but as an avid bird feeder i have always had the opportunity to observe many types and varieties of birds over the years,my cat Kodi enjoys sitting in the window as the birds visit the feeders, they know he cant get out at them so they almost grin at ..lol I watched my Mom feed the birds when i was younger and often wondered why would someone go to great extremes to make sure the birds had adequate food...later on when having same conversation with her she explained why it was important..We dont see the bigger picture obviously untill someone takes the time to help us understand the importance of why its so imperative to support bird feeding.. The birds do more than crap on things , like vehicles, lol yeah i know the paint on a vehicle gets weaker every time bird poop gets on it..but aside from can you imagine how many bugs would be around if it were not for the birds eating them..Guinea hens eat ticks..we have tick season now and finding one of them burrowed under your skin taking blood and depositing a nasty disease is unreal...swallows take all sorts of bugs on the fly outside to eat and feed their young especially mosquitoes , which is responsible for triple E virus can kill a in days... My Mom commented on alot of the bird varieties and said, " if you watch them intently every day you will find they are the most industrious things on the planet." Black birds are the most busy birds ever, they pair up and have two to three broods of chicks every year, they take more bugs from the air and are cleaning their nests every day always got a mission...i have lots here and they are busy feeding their young..which is the same size as the parents when they leave the nest ...parents continue to feed the young as the chicks learn to fly and eat,,,its fun to watch them roaming around the yard picking in the old grass they also eat ticks as well. |
