Our eyes and ears should be open and alert to the natural wonders that surround us every day. Take time to look out our windows to see the birds that visit us and open our windows to hear them. Walk around whatever space we have to enjoy the birds in nature. Every day, work on improving our powers of observation.
ACCEPTANCE
Nature happens. We cannot MAKE natural things happen (or NOT happen). We can create habitats to encourage natural things to happen around us, but there are no guarantees.
RESPONSIBILITY
Birdfeeding comes with responsibilities to the birds and the environment we share with them. If you are unwilling to accept these responsibilities, you shouldn’t feed the birds. We also have a responsibility to share these natural wonders with the next generation.
Toni and Aunt B - Cool! Glad you have a new idea to help the birds at nesting time.

That's a neat idea, I would have never thought of using a suet feeder for that purpose!!

Wow I'll have to remember that for next year. Great use of a suet feeder.

Birdfreak - thanks much. It's fun to see them take the material wherever it may be!

Wonderful captures!! We tried putting out dog fur for the birds in a suet cage and the birds always just pick up stuff on the ground instead.
