Bird Feeding

Just today I got this shot. This silly bird was so lazy it wouldnt even fly to the bird feeder it was eating the stuff that fell to the grass.

I quit feeding birds during the spring and summer because the squirrels would get all the feed. I want to find a different kind of feeder this fall because I love watching birds. Your picture looks kind of like a sparrrow, but it's hard to tell.

We have feeders in our yard and keep them filled for most of the year. Last week we had an invader in the yard. We believe it is a bear. The pole from the feeder was taken right from the ground. Both feeders were emptied of seed and tossed aside. We held off on refilling them. They now are half full and hopefully we will once again see the cardinals, sparrows, finches, mourning doves and blue jays as they come to feast at the feeders. Hopefully the bears will have forgotten that there was a quick treat in our backyard.

The only feeder I have is for hummingbirds. The house behind us has two or three bird feeders hanging in their carport.

I stop feeding them in the summer, can't afford all that seed! But I'd love to.

If you want to keep the squirrels away from a birdfeed that hangs in a tree drill a hole in a bigger plastic or steel bowl (just a bowl that's smooth on the outside). Turn the bowl upside down and put it on top of the bird feeder. They slide off and can't get down to get the bird seeds. Just make sure the bowl doesn't have a rim they can catch onto.

I love bird feeders.But,right now we are living in a condo and have no trees to hangs them in.I had a small plastic cheap one and this squrirrel kept getting into it.So,I bought one that had a squirrel screen on it .But it hangs around it and get's what is outside and shakes it to get some to fall out.

We have a bird feeder out front of our home too. We have filled it several times and the birds eat it all up. We have all kinds of birds feeding on it. We have two hummingbird feeders in the back yard too. I have seen two hummingbirds this year on those. We had about 4 or 5 hummingbirds feeding on them last year. I hope the others come back and feed in them some time soon. We have black birds, sparrows, blue birds, dopves and red wing black birds feeding on ours. There are some others also but I do not know what they are right now.

i really like to feed the birds during the winter (the brave ones that stay for our cold canadian winters) so they have some food to eat and dont have to pick through the frozen ground. during this time of year though, i ocassionally see a cardnal which i love to see.

Even though there are different kinds of birds that come into my yard, the only bird feeder I have is for the hummingbirds. There are many hummingbirds that come to the feeder everyday. I could watch them for hours! Okay, so I don't, but if I could I would. LOL

That does look like a sparrow...I used to have a bird feeder on my fire escape...that is until my jerk landlord told me to take it down...said it was blocking space on the fire escape...DUH? Hello? The feeder wasn't that large and I had it tucked under the stairs area out of the way...what a spoilsport...miss seeing the birds that used to come around

This looks like a Chipping Sparrow to me.

I should get a bird feederthat would be so much fun,we have three large cedar trees almost against our fence,and a 'zillion different birds live in them. Black birds,crows, mocking birds,you name it and some rather cocky blue jays'also.we also have a resident emarald green ruby throated 'hummingbird who loves to sip nectar from the hawthorne bushes and now she has to go to the roses as the hawthorn blooms are all'gone. she is so pretty.

I had a beautiful birdhouse with stained glass sides but those spiteful little squirrels chewed threw the hanker and it broke when it hit the ground and i haven't replaced it yet. Although i did see a fishing cabin on e-bay I'm thinking on. It is made out of wood and might not break as easily!

Well like I said in the photo comments, I was going to say it looked like a sparrow to me. Whatever it is, it is fat and healthy! It appears he has been feeding at your birdfeeder quite often! I'll have to check back here and see if anyone has truly identified the little birdie :) Have a good one!
