I have always loved birds. In fact when my children were younger we had our share of birds - a couple of parakeets, a cockatiel and 3 zebra finches. They were all healthy, messy and we managed to keep them away from our dog and cat. 1 parakeet didn't survive a realtor leaving our study door open during a showing. The zebra finches...well, my son fed them dried grits...water and the rest is a sad,sad story.
Happy New Year Tweet!
I've always collected bird houses and bird cages - both indoors and out. This year because I share a townhouse I haven't purchased anything for the yard. I'll wait until I have my own surroundings to personalise.
So this year when my daughter in laws parents moved in with them from Cambodia - I was struggling with ideas for Christmas. Warm clothes for their daily walks were number 1. They speak very little English so what to do? Ravy's mom sews in their kitchen and her dad spends a lot of time watching her. They have big sliding glass doors in front of the two sewing machines. So...
I bought them a bird feeder, bird seed and they can bird watch to their hearts delight!

Birds and all those colors are some of the gifts God gave us!
That was a great idea to give them - almost everyone loves to look at the birds coming in and out. So fascinating.
Happy New Year.

How wonderful to sit there sewing and looking out the window at all the birds. Great idea for a gift, that's an amazing looking bird feeder too....
It's very relaxing watching birds flit about the yard, you can forget your worries and get caught up in the moment...

I'll bet they were thrilled. You don't need to speak the same language to enjoy the birds together.
