[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 211537, member: 4653"] Thanks everyone for your replies to the topic I started. I didn't think I would get the response I did. I learned a few things that I wouldn't have been able to get from anywhere else. I'm also impressed with everyone's knowlege of their local bird species. I think they are better than pets. We need to care for pets and we don't live with them in their natural environment. Birds, however are observed in the wild doing natural things. Just in our own backyards, there is such a diversity that is so amazing. When we see a bird take a drink at the birdbath it stops us in our tracks and our interests take over so we must stop and watch. Over9five made a comment about the Chickedee. This was the first visitor I ever had at my feeders. I love this bird for several reasons. They can be trained to be hand-fed. They are very bold and observant. When you put out a new feeder they are the first species there. Also, you can very easily attract them to a nest-box. One year I made various boxes (each tree-dwelling bird species has specific nesting requirements) and the one made for the chickedee became occupied that summer while the others remained vacant. I beleive its the state bird of Massachusetts and is such a delight to behold, I hope everyone else enjoys its splendor as much as I do. [/QUOTE]
