We had our first bird at the Bird Feeder on March 23rd. It was so exciting for the kids. They were all gathered around the woodstove - waiting for the fire to get going - when Gabi looked out the window and caught sight of the little thing. She was very excited, but thought that if they all made a lot of noise about it the bird would fly away . Thank goodness there's a window between them or the bird might have flown away.
Since the bird feed is right outside the kitchen window, we moved the little kiddy table over so the kids could watch the bird while they ate. It was so much fun for them. Later in the day, another bird joined them... the next morning the bird feed was on the ground - seeds scattered every where.... we had a lot of melt that night and since the ground was frozen and covered in snow when the bird feeder went up, it had been stuck in the snow... as the ground thaws, we're preparing to put it up properly... and put the roof back on! :)
We hear the birds singing in the morning. I am hoping the good spring weather will come and stay. We don't have a bird feeder, but we do have a tree that the birds are always in. My kids love to watch birds too.
