A Nest Building Helper Cage

Are you watching the birds? It seems their singing is louder now. Maybe it's my imagination, but I really think I hear more of them. I have learned what a tufted tit mouse sounds like from one singing right outside the upstairs window. He has been very vocal today, even with the gray, cloudy skies. Maybe he is trying to "sing" in Spring!

I am making a nest building helper cage. Take a small wire cage you would use for hanging suet. Fill it with bits of string, ribbon, yarn, and even hair from a hair cut. Hang it from a tree branch and watch the birds help themselves. We carry the wire cages here if you are interested in trying it out. I'll get a picture posted as soon as I get my camera down here. Great idea to do with the kids.

Don't forget our Cabin Fever Day is this Saturday, the 26th. We will have some of the craftspeople here to ask questions about the items. Come and enjoy refreshments, flowers, and balloons.
