What do you do for hummingbird food? I’m trying to attract them to my apartment’s roof garden. I see them up there once or twice a year so I know they get this high up but I want more
You can make hummingbird nectar at home. I think it’s 4:1 water to sugar, let it cool after boiling to dissolve and fill up a feeder. Double check the ratio but I used to get them at my 21st floor apartment. Good luck, they are my favorites!
Plant a little salvia and place feeders near. mine used to draw them in like cats to catnip.
Those pileated woodpeckers are so big! Like the size of a chicken, they’re so cool.
damn is that a yellow-rumped warbler
… yes
One day you notice a gray hair, the next you notice a gray jay.
I just turned old years old and one of my kids got me a t-shirt that simply reads “i like birds.”
and it’s true… i like em a lot… 🤓
seeing a group of cedar waxwings for the first time a couple weeks ago had me marveling like a child again…
and also saying… “i thought they’d be bigger” 😁
I absolutely love ducks and own 10 of them. Any time I see ducks in the wild, I love identifying their breeds, or what breeds their parents were if they’re hybrids. Muscovy ducks are my fave because they’re just so happy. Totally act like dogs. I own three of them and they’re a joy.
We raised ducks and geese for a good long while. My partner adored them. 😊
They’re amazing animals. One of my passions in life. I would love to have more, but I don’t have the money or space lol.
“Look, Raymond,”
I’m a big fan of cardinals
Thanks for the chuckle on my work break!
I used to argue with guys about punk rock and politics, now I mostly try to parse sparrows. Got a lot of lookalikes here. Don’t even get me started on the hawks
