"Good morning."
How are all your Christmas preparations coming along?
I felt a big "whew!" yesterday as I wrapped up my last gift with my side-kick, Annie aka Peach.
Now it is on to pie-baking & enjoying more movies.
Yesterday morning the sun came out, so while at the property, I walked around to enjoy the birds.
Thought I'd mess with their heads and put a tangerine where the apple goes and an apple on the big bad kitty.
Absolutely everything gets eaten in a few days. The feeders empty fast. I think I may have raccoons at night coming for food, too.
I have heard that you can tame a chickadee to eat out of your hand.
I'll be working on that this Spring.
There is actually a site that tells you how to do this.
I find them becoming quite tame already. Some stay on the feeder even when I walk up to it.
"Good morning, little chickadee."
Although I'm keeping things simple this year, I really must do something with my stair-case. Counting down the days now.
Stay toasty, Deb
I think having a chickadee eat out of your hand would be so very fun! I hope it works! I've read how to do it before and it seems to be a success for many.
ReplyDeleteI haven't started wrapping gifts yet...that will be my chore tomorrow!
you are going to enjoy your new home so very much and all the wildlife.
ReplyDeleteHugs, purrs and a merry merry!
I llove that cat head feeder.
ReplyDeleteHello dear DEB, I think the chickadee is the best and fattest and finest bird in the feeder, I would love to tame one. Just wanted to wish you and your family of kittycats and people, a happy Christmas and a Jolly good New Year!
ReplyDeleteThe raccoons would definitely be seeking that out at night!
ReplyDeleteThat would be so great to have a little chickadee feed from your hand! Hope it works!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen this video of a True Cat's Christmas Tree? Loved it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Am7Xj2gvsFA I so want to do that for a kitty when we can get one again... So perfect!
Love,
Lily
Your staircase is always a masterpiece! I can't wait to see what you will do,
ReplyDeleteAn afternoon with Peach sounds lovely.
Hey Deb....
ReplyDeleteYou'll have that Chicadee eating out of your hand in no time♥️
Merry Christmas my dear.....
Linda :o)
Merry Christmas dear Deb. I hope it is a good one for you and, you will have the chicadee eating out of your hand in no time. If anyone can do it you can..Have a wonderful holiday with your family..Judy
ReplyDeleteI'm sure all the birds at your place are happy. That reminded me that I need to refill the feeders for we had a slushy, slippery snow yesterday that made for treacherous roads and prevented us from going to Minneapolis to hear The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. :-(( We have had chickadees eating out of our hand. I think it was just a matter of standing very still and looking like a bird feeder. lol I hope you have a wonderful and happy Christmas, Deb!
