Someone turn it down please

Our cat television channel has been furry noisy the last couple of days!

There are now four baby grackles that have flown the coop.  Well, maybe not flown 'cuz they don't fly furry well.  But they can fly short distances, like up on top of the feeder, the bird bath, and even the fence.
 There were actually two that were hanging out on the ground underneath the feeder.  Mom bean says they don't eat the seed that has fallen though.


This one took a bath in the bird bath and then, darned bird, it pooped on the rock, and dirtied the bath water!  Mom bean laffs at the little feather tufts on its head.

 

The little one was waiting for one of the pawrents to show up with some food.  Mom bean tried to get a photo of the feeding but neither bird would cooperate. The little one squawks up a storm when it is hungry so mom bean always knows when they are out there.


They were all furry noisy this morning when Mr. Squirrel paid a visit to the feeder.  The pawrents even tried to make him go away but he didn't, he just tucked his tail in and kept on eating.  

Mom bean thought she might stop feeding the birds for a couple of days so maybe the grackles would go somewhere else.  But she's a softie and doesn't want to keep the other birds from having a snack too.  Or even Mr. Squirrel.


Have a great day efurrybody!

  4. One issue of critter tv may be that you can’t control volume as you like :-) Yes the grackles can be very noisy!

  5. My mommy quit feeding the birdies after the squirrels ate it all up and left the birds away.

  6. I'd hate to deprive any of the birds of food. I even try to give the magpies something, and they don't need my help...

  7. We sure hope those grackles fly the coop soon! That's very nice of the Mom Bean to feed them and the other critters.
