Just realized that bird feeding is "holy work". See Matthew 6:26 Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much. Join or Leave mou-net: http:/

[mou-net] Fruit in Feeder

My platform feeder has some pretty good stuff for cold weather. But I started wondering about adding fruit. Any particularly good fruits to add for the birds that like it? I have peanuts, sunflower seeds, small seed for songbirds, and mealworms for bug-eaters. The feral parakeet seems to fi

Our local parakeet-on-the-loose still around. Showed up at the platform feeder by the window. My wife keeps a cage of parakeets (3 or 4). So we put some of the parakeet food out there. Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/arc

For the nearly two decades I've lived in my present house, we've always had mourning dove pairs. I don't know if we've had them through every season.  But according the map I just saw, practically all of Minnesota is in the mourning dove range.  I'm wondering if our weird year of weather has had

I live in S. Minneapolis.  Early this morning, the cardinals were singing nearby.  I looked at my watch, and then it occurred to me: During the warmer months, I always know what time it is because robins are at it.  So, now I'm wondering if it is too early for robins to be here.  At least here i
