My Dad has a soft spot for the feathered creatures and in the snowy weather he throws seed on top of the snow on our deck, as well as filling two feeders with food for them. This pretty little female cardinal came by the other morning for a snack. We even had a hawk swoop past the other day! We think it was hopeful of catching one of the small birds. I enjoy watching the little birds on the deck, but after a while I get sleepy from it and have to nap.Stay warm, my Northern friends!
Oooh, pawsome kitty TV! What a tasty snack...pretty bird this is! A cardinal? It looks like a cardinal with the tuft and beak, but the mom usually sees the males in their red splendour. So we're not sure if it's a cardinal or not!
ReplyDeleteNice bird channel! It's good to help our feathered friends, even if they leave poops behind.
ReplyDeleteEntertainment! We love watching the birds too. Just wish we could really get up close and fur to feather, hehehehe
ReplyDeleteOooooo, we're preheating Mom's oven just in case ;)

Wonder where her husband was? Not far away, we're sure. We love Cardinals. They are the state bird of Mom's home state, Indiana.
ReplyDeleteWe have Cardinals here during the winter also......our mama loves Cardinals....the males are called "red birds" here in South Texas.
ReplyDeleteLove to you and yours, Simba.
Bird watching is great--and how good of your dad to help them out.
ReplyDeleteOur mum doesn't feed the birdies Simba cos she is frightened that we will go hunting and bring a birdie home for for tea - and in our eagerness to show hospitality somehow maim it. She loves to see birdies but has a phobia about touching them cos she doesn't like them fluttering. On the other paw we would be delighted to hold them for her!
ReplyDeleteWe feed the birdies here too! We love watching bird TV. The Chickadee Channel is our favoritest because they're so funny.
ReplyDeleteWe've been feeding the bidies here, too...and guess what!? Yesterday a hawk came down and got a PIGEON! We saw it all! It was verreh exciting, so much so, we had to take naps afterwards, just like you.
ReplyDeleteOh, my about the hawk getting the pigeon, Katnip Kats. We have a feeling the hawk in our yard was going for the doves. I guess they don't want to waste their efforts on small, bony birds. Also the doves sit in a row along a tree branch, just looking to be picked off. However we have not actually ever seen a hawk be successful. We kind of side with the doves, but are excited to see the hawk too.
ReplyDeleteWe have a soft spot for the fev-vers too. It is called our tummies. Mum feeds them and it makes us chitter at them. She tells us we mustn't catch them, so we don't. Not when she is watching anyway.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have Cardinals like that here but she's a very pretty birdie! Our daddy puts food out to keep our Birdie TV on too.
ReplyDeleteOur neighbor and my Mom feed the birds. We've seen big black birds probably watching the doves.
ReplyDeleteI talked to the doves today, but they ignored me.
Mmmmmm...that feather looks yummy!! Our mom feeds the feathers...and sometime she'll put out peanuts and corn for the crazy squirrels too!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? We never see cardinals here! And my mom's been so remiss about the feeders that even though she finally filled them yesterday, no one has come to visit yet. You're lucky to have someone to pay attention to things like that for you!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty and we're glad you look and don't touch!
ReplyDeleteMum feeds the fevvers too. We like to watch them.
ReplyDeleteYummy Bird TV! In fact, I think you may be tuned to the Food Channel!
ReplyDeleteI love feeding the birds and squirrels here too and I feed them wheat bread!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! I love cardinals. My parents have a bird feeder on their front porch and there's a pair of cardinals that hangs around the yard all winter. Such pretty birds.
ReplyDeleteSimba, Birdy is cute for Human
ReplyDeleteBut Not me ! Listen to this Simba !
....Birds are invited themselves to my garden
and then they invited themselves eat our plum fruits
and they invited themselves drink water in my fountain plus have a bath !!!!
Now you know Why..Why...I have to hunt them !
There are no birds in my garden. Because I am Huffle the Mighty Hunter!
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice Daddy :) We likes to feed the birdies too. They are fun to watch!
