Bird Aviary

It's been awhile since I've updated you on our growing bird aviary. Emily has been switching around her feeders. Taking some down; putting new ones up. She has around eight feeders up at a time all trying to attract different bird species. She spreads seed out on the ground for the ground feeders such as the scrub jay and mourning doves. The finches have a growing domination of the feeders.

Finches (american gold finch, lesser goldfinch, and house finch) at the water cooler.

Emily sweeps the backyard regularly to keep the ground clean.
