When we had our own house, we had sliding glass doors that looked out on a deck where Not The Mama would feed the birdies. My sister Daphne and I LOVED to watch the birdies there. Apartment life, with no deck and no birdies - well, it ain't the same!
My favorite bird to watch was the Mourning Dove. Here's a picture that NTM took of a Mourning Dove a couple springs ago:
Mourning Doves were bigger than most of the other birds (bigger is better, right?) and they spent lots of time on the deck, tantalizing me. Along with the doves, we would get chickadees and goldfinches and cardinals and red-winged blackbirds and juncos and downy woodpeckers and robins, too! I miss my birdies.
Meow for now,

I miss the birdies too. My development is so new, the trees are very small - not much taller than I am - so the birdies don't hang out much here yet. Maybe in 10 years or so, when the trees are big enough to sustain birdies.

My investor put a bird feeder out in the yard to attract the birds.... but they aren't showing up anymore! I wonder why...
ReplyDelete(P.S. She's still thinking about getting chickens. When your Not The Mama had chickens, did you eat eggs??)
We see lots of those mourning doves, too! They go "hooooo-hoo-hooooooooo! Hooooo! Hooooooooooooooo!"
ReplyDeleteTell not the mama you want to see the menu.

We love watching Mourning Doves!! There are many here in Brooklyn, and we stare at them sitting on our fire escape.
ReplyDeleteYes, my kitties miss their backyard with trees and birds and squirrels...nothing going on in the tree-less city.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I had cats and they would make this weird sound while watching them through the window.

All I get are Mouring Doves and chickadees. Mini likes to watch both, but I haven't been buying bird seed lately so she only has deer to bark at.
ReplyDeleteYou'll get it someday! Just keep you eye on him!
