Bird Feeders

Well, it's been pretty chilly here in Austin recently (which makes outdoor activities fun with a newborn) so in order to keep CCR entertained and to be able to connect with the outdoors while still inside, we made bird feeders. Since pine cones are not in season, we went to Michael's and got some of those twig decorative balls, smeared them with peanut butter and rolled them in wild bird seeds. It was a ton of fun!!

It took a while for the birds to realize we had hung them up (the squirrels actually found them first), but I was able to snap some photos of a squirrel hanging around our patio as well as a bird that landed on one. It was a fun activity, but I know it'll be much more fun as CCR gets older and can do more on his own. Enjoy the pictures...
