[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 210632, member: 8657"] Funny you should start this topic. My home is over run by the little critters and I'm powerless to stop them. Heck, I spend almost as much feeding them as my own family! I'm hooked, also. For Xmas or birthdays, I'd better be opening another bird bath or feeder!! The homes in my neighborhood were built without doorbells so if you want one, you have to install your own. We did so, by cutting a small hole above our front door to install the wiring. This little opening and whatever's inside becomes home every year to a very busy little family, who scream at us whenever we attempt to use OUR front door. The nerve! So we go in thru an attached garage... I see quite a variety and what I can identify are morning doves (I've got 4 pair and each pair are always together), finches, grackles (they're black with gorgeous dark, iridescent colored heads), magpies, bluejays and the occasional yellow hummingbird. They've taken over the grape arbor and the grapes are gone before we get a chance. The same goes for the strawberry patches. We might get a handful of berries every season if we're lucky. But between the birds and the squirrels, I just love watching them. I left the back door open one morning and I apparently wasn't as quick as I should have been with providing the daily breakfast for my friends. I came downstairs to find a squirrel sitting on my dining room table, patiently waiting for his grub... :laugh: [FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
