For the Birds!

I confess- my backyard is for the birds- well at least in part. For years now I have been feeding them. Certain grasses and "weeds" that produce berries and seeds are there for them. There are now three main water sources: the pond and two bird baths. The yard is fenced in. It has a hedge and trees and there are evergreens close on its borders. Moe, our faithful dog, keeps the cats out. It has become a refuge for our fine feathered friends. Even the pigeons (properly called Rock Doves) are welcome. We have had quite a few families bring new members in the world on the premises.

The birds reward me by eating a lot of garden pests (helping me stay organic) and provding beautiful music (just view any videos on this blog and listen).
