I’ve decided that I’m going to create a “bird sanctuary” in my yard for wild birds! I really love wild birds because there’s not a lot of commitment involved and I don’t think they should be caged up anyhow! Not to mention, I don’t have to clean a cage full of poop and seeds! I can put a feeder and a house in the yard and watch from the couch or my front porch! Easy as that! They have their space and I have mine! It’s perfect! Of course, I have to create a place they want to come and spend time! So, I’m going to have to add a few things to the yard and that means I need to tell my husband. He’s already limited me to 2-3 feeders and 1 birdhouse. He doesn’t want us to look crazy and he definitely doesn’t want to be “the guy that’s married to the bird lady!” Soooo, I told my husband:
Me: Hey, ya’ knooow….birds need food, and water, and shelter, right?
Husband: Yeah, and why do we have to provide for them? We have kids and we have each other! We have a family!
Me: Yes, but we just do! It’s nature! They’re God’s creatures!
Now, STHU…I want a bird bath!
Now, STHU…I want a bird bath!
Husband: (Shakes his head and smiles at me….
because he loves me!)
because he loves me!)
Me: “SAY HELLO TO OUR LITTLE BIRD SANCTUARY!!!
(We got a bird bath!!)
I encourage you to put a feeder up and just watch the birds that show up! Be sure to post on my blog – I’d love to hear all about it!
I have been looking for a new hobby and wayla, there you are. Enjoyed reading your blog. I used to feed the birds but when we got chickens I had to give that up. We are “chicken free” now and I am starting to get back into this again. Thanks for your blog!
I wish for the great of success in all of our destiny endeavors
