These sweet little birds spend their time here year-round. They bathe in my fountain, they grab a black sunflower seed from the feeder, put it between their feet and hit it with their little beaks until they get the seed, they raise their babies, their chirps and trills are so very welcome. Of all the BIMBY, they are the ones I know the best.
They also love the SUET FEEDERS. I cannot have these feeders out for about 2 months a year because of a yearly invasion of STARLINGS that come for the fruit on my neighbor's tree. I really can't abide these birds and their pushy ways, but they are certainly intelligent and I guess have a place, just not in my yard.
So I just put the SUET FEEDERS back up and the chickadees, a scrub jay and a black, female squirrel (this is a first; they are normally little boys) all chowed down this morning. Very sweet.
