Don’t you just love the wildlife that makes its way right to your home, says, ‘hello,’ stays for a while, and then is free to go when they’re ready to leave? Living on the coast south of Mandurah always guarantees us a daily assortment of wild bird visitors.
In our town, the most common wild bird is the cheeky Pink-and-Grey Galah. There are others. Ringneck Lorikeets, Kurrawongs, Doves, Pigeons and the odd King Parrot… but it’s the Pink and Greys who occupy my feeder throughout most of the day. I have a few regular tree sitters – and one couple who occupy a branch just above the feeder almost all day. It brings me joy to see nature up so close and personal.
The difficulty of keeping caged animals is that it complicates matters for vacations and such. Feeding and watering caged birds during any lengthy absence is worrisome – but an open feeding station ends all that worry. I am free to come and go just like the birds to my feeder!
There are tricks to making good feeders by locating them in just the right place. Wild birds don’t like being enclosed, not even just a little bit… they need to feel safe, even if that means being able to make a speedy exit from predators in the blink of an eye.
That’s life, right… and kinda what my books are about. (Abrupt Segway now complete! LOL :))
