Greedy Birds

The little black spec is a hot air balloon from Virgin Balloon Flights (yes another bearded company :P and to think he almost called the first company "Slipped Disc Records" instead of Virgin Records, bit off-putting me thinks). You would never get me on one of those no matter how much you paid me :p I'd be afraid I would fall over the side. Or what happens if you have to pee?? :p

My father-in-law made us a bird table out of some left over tree limbs. Looks really good and sit perfectly fine on the lawn.

I did think that it might take a few hours for the birds to notice that it was there and that it was a free buffet. But nope. Less than half an hour and they started to show up.

Little Robin. Very small compared to the Robins I was use to seeing. Hopping all over the place, and hanging from the little hanging bird feed we hung up. Indigestion from eating too much and hopping around? :p

These 3 were fighting over a spot on the tables, but also keeping an eye out for roaming cat. Which showed up not long after. Mr.Fuzzy yelled at it and it want running away like its tail was on fire. We do need to find a way to keep them off the lawn. Kinda hard when they are feral.

That is a bad point about the bird table. The cats can get at the birds easily but its not as bad as the In-laws backyard. Lots of bushes and trees for the cats there to hide in and get the birds.
