Thank you. My family has birding genes inherited from my mother who could identify wild birds by one feather and a nest. No formal training, but my children identify, watch & feed the hummingbirds, finches, woodpeckers. The food is not cheap;)
I believe of all God’s creatures He especially cherishes the birds - more so than humans. Birds can fly, men cannot. Birds can sing too;). Birds build their own housing, find their food and raise their young. All species get along with one another and while they compete for space and food, they do not go to war with one another.
Humans could learn a lot from birds.
We are amateur bird lovers too and feed them year round. One spring we had four different species nesting all around the house: finches, nut hatch, titmouse, and western blue birds. (not to speak of the ones that we couldn’t see in the oaks). Thanks for singing God’s praises through His beautiful birds!
You either havent seen crows or dont consider them birds.
Daddy once remarked that birds hid seeds in the bark of
trees. I asked him how they could remember what they hid
where. He said they can’t; but they leave the food for
other birds to find when they are passing through and the
weather is bad or there is nothing else available. I guess
tree bark is loaded with seeds and other bird food. It is
called sharing.
We kept a bird feeder, but Brutus got to lurking under it
and catching birds that way. Brutus is a bit of a butt.
