Posted in Teaching Times
HEY YALL! NEED SOME QUICK "BIRDING FOR DUMMIES" ADVICE ON BIRD FEEDERS. WE ARE STUDYING BIRDS. WE DO NOT PLAN ON BUYING ANY, WE ARE MAKING OUR OWN. I HAVE DONE SOME READING BUT AM WONDERING WHERE TO HANG THEM. HIGH ON A BRANCH OF A TREE OR CAN YOU HANG THEM ON LOW LYING BRANCHES?? I HAVE EVEN READ THAT IT IS GOOD TO FEED BIRDS THAT HANG OUT IN BRUSH AREAS, WE HAVE SOME OF THAT TOO.
HELP? WE ARE EXCITING TO GET STARTED, JUST WANT TO DO IT RIGHT.
LOVE THE LORD, LISA

From my experience, the tree is the last place I would hang the feeder. The squirrels have easy access if you hang it from a tree branch. The only way we found our birdfeeder safe from the squirrels was to hang it from a free standing holder (like a tall shepherds staff). We were also able to hang ours under the patio roof where it was too far for the squirrels to climb under and then onto but it makes for a mess if you're using any kind of sunflower seeds. You have to let me know what you decide and where you'll hang it and the results. :)

So far, we've only had one hanging on our dining room window. I agree with Christena, though, those squirrels can be a real nuisance. But you could give it a shot and see what happens. If you have a pole or something, that would probably work best.
I'm excited for y'all, studying birds. We have been fascinated watching them. They're such fun. And what a blessing it is to see your children excited about it. *Ü*
Hope things are going well. I meant to call you this week, but didn't... sorry. Hope church is going okay. I read on Miranda's blog that y'all are having revival next week. How exciting! Who's the evangelist??
Oh, by the way, I got that bad tooth pulled. It went quite well and the Lord answered specific prayer by not letting the tooth break. Woo hoo! Still healing up but feel pretty good. It was nice to have Twinkie across the street. She was very helpful and sweet. It was a blessing.
I hope you enjoy your weekend.
We have a baby shower at church tonight so I'm off to make food! Baptist tradition, ya know?? hee hee.
Bye for now ~
