Prime Real Estate...'cheep' rent

"Happy First Day of Spring."

:)

I thought it would never get here.

This gal actually follows the sun around the mouse-house and it is puddling up everywhere this morning. Sun, sun, sun...glorious sun.

I am walking around the property today wondering what I can do to entice our fine-feathered friends to nest here.
We've got it all..
pretty houses only seconds from two 5-star bird cafes and watering holes

boutiques with many styles of bedding
2" pieces of wool
2" pieces of string
feathers
twigs
lush balls of cat hair from two unknowing cats
and for the more feminine shopper...lace of various colour

                                         

Any bird that nests here will have some very colourful neighbours.

Did you know that blue-jays love 

blueberries and apples?

This guy was first to the feast.

I'm really hoping for some nesting birds this spring.

I didn't expect any last year as I had just put the houses up and it usually takes time for them to trust them.

Now, after feeding them for over a year, I hope they find this a safe place to settle in and start their families.

There are five houses

hanging on the maples.

The crows stole all the glass beads from the white one.

And, I have provided some nesting materials in the suet cages

to help them out.

So, I hope some little momma-to-be chickadee, dove, wren, downy woodpecker or sparrow finds that this neighbourhood meets with their satisfaction.

There are lots of bushy fir trees to build a nest if that is their cup of tea.

We do love babies around here.

:)

hugs, Deb
