@n@mastodon.technology Oh I'd love to see hummingbirds! We don't have those here. I have a lot of cheerful cold climate birds that I cater for. I really enjoy watching starlings running around in the grass feeding their young and generally being boisterous. I know they aren't conventionally popular birds but they are so full of life and funny. They are happy to share the garden with the other birds too. One of them even has a sparrow that climbs on its chest to get to the feeder. My garden appears to be Switzerland for any bird conflicts 😂

I have water trays out for my birds too. It's quite amazing how they will come to a garden even if there is no food, just so they can splash around in fresh water. They have a normal birdbath and a shoe tray I picked up from Ikea that I keep on the ground so they can share it with any hedgehogs that pass through. Ground feeding birds and sparrows love that one. I have seen fifteen at a time playing in it.

I could probably go on about birds all day. This is about the point people start glazing over and changing the subject. 😬 (Birds are amazing though! I hope you do the nest boxes ❤️)
