Some Seeds for the Birds

Birds in the summer need a safe place to hang out too.

      My cousin Jem and I were able to start in making the backyard feel a little more home to our avian neighbors.  At Menards, Jem and I took about an hour choosing the bird feeder that satisfied our criteria: metal- or wood-make, has perches, not too slender nor too big, and has big holes.  We settled with the one in the picture, and decided that we'd stick barbeque sticks to make the perches.  We also bought a stand, bird seeds, and a bird bath to go along with the bird feeder.  We set it up by the big bush-tree situated in the corner of the backyard.  The birds will feel safer that the bird feeder is nearer their home rather than far away from cover.  We can't wait until lots of birds come visit.
