LEONIS PRIDE
WILD BIRDS
We hung a laundrey line outside our kitchen window which stretches between two pine tree ,which we hang a variety of different kinds of bird feeders. Here are the feeders & things we do for our wild bird friends:

1. We provide water in a bowl or pan. We put rocks or stick or both so the birds can reach the water.

2. We collect pinecones & spread peanut butter on them & roll them in birdseed.

3. We put just Thisle seed in some of the feeders just for the finches.

4.We fill the others with wild bird food & different nuts & seeds.

5.We scatter some birdseed around the ground.

6. We make wooden bird houses and hang them on the pine trees. A Bluebird family & a Swallow family has moved into two of our houses. We are now impatientely awaiting the cheery chirp of the babies.

EXCITING MOMENTS IN BIRDWATCHING
In February we were gazing out the window at the lovely birds, just like we do at different times throughout the day when a Robin surprised us by swooping down & slurping up a big fat earthworm.

When you give it to them,
they gather it up;
when you open your hand,
they are satisfied with good things.
