Oh my goodness here it is, the holiday season arrives, Christmas is just around the corner and I'm so glad I'm not a turkey! The raccoons have been in the garden, we have renamed them "the terrorists". I have no surviving birdhouses or birdfeeders left, luckily there is still so much natural food around no one is going hungry.
There is actually a good side to the loss of all my wonderful decorative birdfeeders, I get to get new ones, how fun! Not only that, but when friends ask what I want for Christmas I have something concrete to tell them. Get me some brand new, fabulous, decorative birdfeeders, in any size, design or color for big birds and little birds, please. I get to remodel the yard. Well maybe it's more like urban renewal than remodeling.
Luckily I managed to get all the bird baths put away for the winter before "the terrorists" came through. The pond is still available and they play in that, I get to listen to the dog grumble at them for most of the night. I have to admit I would rather have "the terrorists" than the local bears. We have one male the size of a Volkswagen, eek , I stepped out on the porch to check out a noise and he was strolling through the yard, the dog barked at him and he strolled off, they never seem to get too riled up by anything, thank goodness.
As soon as it snows seriously I will put out the heated birdbaths so that my residents, (no visitors this time of year) can get enough water. The bears, who also get into the birdfeeders, hibernate soon but the raccoons don't, they just seem to disappear mid winter for awhile so I can put up my new decorative birdfeeders.
For Christmas I make pine cone feeders for a bird treat. They are so easy to make all you need to do is mix a little peanut butter, Crisco (warm the PB & Crisco just a little), birdseed, dried fruit and nuts and roll some pinecones in the batter. Add a hanger and refrigerate for a little while. Then put out for your feathered friends and give them a happy holiday treat.
