Bird watching is a solitary sport. As I've said before, I'm not much into running, jumping, and leaping over buildings with a single bound. But I love my birds! I am wicked with a pair of binoculars. I can stand, watch and enjoy for much longer than I care to admit to the entire world.
I have a finch feeder that is continually full of gold finches, house finches, and purple finches. I have four sets of cardinals that love my old platform feeder......and then I have my bluebirds. I adore my bluebirds!
Bill has been building me bluebird houses so my birds can live in comfort and style. He researched the requirements that would make a bluebird green with envy. He built ballasts so the snakes, raccoons, and squirrels can't get into the nesting boxes. He strategically placed the boxes all around the place so the bluebirds can have their own territory.
I bought some freeze dried mealworms. The lady at the store told me I could grow my own. Bluebirds love meal worms....and they love fresh meal worms. It would be easier than raising swans. My next endeavor--don't you think?
