At Play: With the Birds

Everett loves birds. When it is gross outside and we need a place to go, we go to the nearby pet store that has many, many types of birds including two huge birds that roam free in the store.

Today was beautiful finally. So, Evy and I went out to collect pinecones to make pinecone bird feeders. We have a bird bath in the back that brings in several birds everyday. I wanted to see if we could increase the bird viewing with a couple of these pinecones.

Everett loved gathering the cones. He had an excellent eye for them and found some of the best that we gathered. He enjoyed mixing the mix and was highly exuberant about playing with the seed.











In all we had a great time. We'll let you know if birds come by or if the squirrels just eat the cones. BTW, we have tons of seed left if you want to make your own.
