that’s not a bad thing because of the risk of disease from the unclean feeders & the predators that stalk the birds.

Can parakeets mate with another species of bird such as a sparrow?

There is a loose parakeet in my neighborhood and we are trying to catch her. No one has advertised a lost bird, but we fear she may not survive the winter or predators in the wild. She has taken to a nesting box in my sister-in-laws back yard. We are concerned she is nesting in the box and aren’t sure if we ought to capture her now.

How can I attract more Eastern Goldfinches to my yard?

Hi, I’ve seen a couple of them in the neighborhood and this morning three of them were darting around in our yard. We’d like to attract more of them since they’re so gorgeous and unusual (and they are the state bird). Do they eat just any kind of wild bird seed? Where could we put up a feeder? And what kind of environment to they like?

Thanks!

Enjoying Birding

What can one do that is relatively inexpensive, helps you get away from the worries of the day, gets you outdoors, enables you to get some exercise, can be done alone or in a group, and provides you with lasting memories and good conversation?  That is one heck of a question!  Or is it a multitude of questions?

Birding, that’s the answer.

Let’s face it.  This is cheap entertainment.  First, all you really need to get started is a bird feeder or two and some seed or nectar.  This is it, if what you hope to do is watch the birds that come to your own backyard.  Hours of watching intently or on the spur of the moment can be had for pennies a day.

Of course, once you have enjoyed and learned about the birds in your yard, you’ll probably start noticing birds everywhere.  It is just like buying a new car.  Once you have bought the car, you start noticing that model on every road you travel.  Once, you’ve noticed the birds in your backyard, you’ll notice them on your morning walk through the neighborhood, at the park, driving down the highway, in the fields on the edge of town, down at the river where you fish—everywhere. 

So the next step is to get a good pair of binoculars, a field guide and your local checklist.  And there is no stopping you.  Your friends will start to ask you, the burgeoning expert, just what was that bird they saw the other day.

What is a good pair of binoculars going to cost you?  One can spend any amount on binoculars.  Consider that one will probably be using these for a number of years. Consider that you want a pair of binoculars through which you can actually tell the colors on the wings, or belly or tail.  Consider that you want a pair that enables the identification of the bird.  Consider that old birders never die; their eyesight just “ain’t as good as it used to be”.  Therefore, do not buy a cheap pair of binoculars!  Invest enough in your binocular to keep you satisfied with your purchase for many years.  Here, look at it this way: if you bought a Vortex Diamondback and you knew that you were going to use these over the next ten years (a lifetime warranty not withstanding), the cost would be barely more than a nickel a day.  Similarly, if you bought a Vortex Viper it would be about 14 cents per day.  See, I told you this was an inexpensive proposition.

Lastly, investigate the local Audubon Society in your area.  Find out when and where they meet.  Once you start attending their meetings, you’ll learn of places all around you where there are wonderful and exciting birds to see.  Then you will have new friends and a community with whom to share all this.  That is more than satisfactory, that’s great!

Birding is the answer, yep!

Are the birds in our neighborhood snooty?

We were feeding them sunflower seeds and other large seeds, and birds from all over the neighborhood were flocking to our bird feeders. We saw a variety of species. Our backyard was the hot spot for birds, and we had as many as 20 at a time.

Then, we switched over to the small seeds, since the bigger ones were too expensive, and they were going fast. Suddenly, the birds stopped coming around, except for one or two. The whole neighborhood is covered in snow, and I can only imagine that food is scarce. Are they mad, or protesting in their own way? Before, the birds would wait for us to fill the bird feeders with the big seeds, so they anticipated our actions. Would they rather go hungry than eat the small seed?
