I have to make sure there is enough food out in my backyard to keep the birds visiting. During the winter there are no bugs or insects for them to eat. I have sunflower seeds and peanuts on the deck feeder. But some birds like the woodpeckers, seldom visit the feeders. But with the little suet cages, I can put out suet in the trees away from the deck. This keeps the birds fed and visiting my yard.

I can’t feed the birds due to the cats, but this is a really awesome feeder!
I know, that is a problem with outdoor cats. Thanks!
It’s great that you feed the birds, I often worry about what happens to them when it’s so cold outside. I can’t feed them in my yard because my cats attack them -.-
Some find food from plants with berries, and most depend on food we put out I believe. Cats are a danger to them. Mine stay indoors.
Feeding stray cats and birds is one way to keep animals happy.
Yes I agree. I keep the deck feeder full at all times. Even in the rain.
That is great way to take care of our furry friends.
Carol, you are mother to the birds. In Afrikaans, which is a mixed language that comprises of mostly Dutch and German you be called Carol DM – ‘Die Moeder’ (The Mother)
What a huge compliment Bradley. I can still be a mother without Dustin, just to the birds. What a great thought you have left me with. Thank you!
Great photo, and I wouldn’t have thought about doing that. Don’t have a yard though to worry about feeding birds at the moment.
Thank you for the comment Courtney. 🙂
My pleasure! I need to come by here more often!
Yes but you know there are only so many hours in the day. 🙂
I don’t have this, I don’t know if I want to have this at home, for sure lots of pigeons will be feasting in the balcony which means lots of poops after.
Yes you are right. This is good if you have trees away from your house.
Must keep the birds fed. Right?
Yes I try to for sure my friend. I saw bluebirds today at the birdbath!
Good idea … I’ll do it too
We can buy these little packages of suet for less than $1.00.
We’ve hummingbirds coming for nectar from our flowers … that’s all
Hummingbirds are great. I miss seeing them. They will return in the summer.
I buy food for birds at the store
That is good to hear that you feed the birds.
You have many ways to see them all, Carol.
I really try Albert, it is entertaining and therapeutic for me.
