I'm glad you did! I love the bluebird. I hope to see one someday!<BR/>Poor Chloe - wah. I hope she's feeling better today. Yeah, I'd like to know why she has to take it in the thigh instead of the neck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-1169989414894035262007-01-28T08:03:00.000-05:002007-01-28T08:03:00.000-05:00Oh, they'll come Mary, just you wait.

In Michiga...I'm exactlylike that over bird feeders. In Michigan I had a wonderful set up with a 4 x 4 treated post. I found that aluminum heat vent pipe from Lowes just barel fit over it as a sleeve and was in the right 8 foot sections so I dropped that around the post. Then I used plumbing pipe and rigged four long arms on the top so I could hang one large or two smaller feeders on each arm. It served as my primary feeding station for 8 years and I was a regular at Wild Birds Unlimited. In chicago it's tough because I'm limited to feeding seed that doesn't leave waste and I feed high on the third floor balcony- both to avoid attracting rats. The best I've found is suet, a peanut feeder and a thistle tube. Sometimes I put out sunflower chips and safflower on the balcony floor but I have to make sure a bunch of chaf doesn't fall into the courtyard below. Ack. Here in Florida I just put up two feeders and a humming bird bottle- I'll get pictures up of those shrotly. More than you ever wanted to know. <BR/><BR/>I like your pond, too. It's lovely.<BR/>Chloe doesn't look like she feels well. Hopefully that muscle won't be so sore in a day or two.<BR/><BR/>I stopped by Laura's planets post earlier and saw the blue bird there, too. Sweet things!amarkonmywallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677008352624269050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-1169963546196007462007-01-28T00:52:00.000-05:002007-01-28T00:52:00.000-05:00Poor Chloe.

I was ecstatic! Until then (mid-80's, I think), we had to content ourselves with the definitely uninspiring birdfeeders that the hardware stores offered. I remember being so awed by all the "bird stuff" available. It looks like you have made good use of their products, and look at the lovely bird photos you get as a result! <BR/><BR/>I agree that birds are definitely slow to catch on to a new feeder. But in my yard, the squirrels lead the way every time!LostRoseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06586462466899344347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35675426.post-1169956245839253512007-01-27T22:50:00.000-05:002007-01-27T22:50:00.000-05:00I have to look for a suet feeder like that.

Your post about her yesterday made me think of my boy - he's not mean at the vet's just half scared to death and makes me drag him into the building and into the exam room. He likes the new place we're going much better - a vet that can connect with the pet is soo important to making them feel comfortable.<BR/><BR/>Your feeder set-up looks great - all shiny and new. Hope the birds find it soon!<BR/><BR/>I'm amazed with how nice your pond looks - makes me jealous! Mine is covered with ice right now.LauraHinNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329387562570495570noreply@blogger.com
