A few minutes ago, I heard a loud noise from outside and soon realized it was the lawn guy. He must have hit something solid with his weed whacker. I looked onto the catio to see if Frankie wanted to come inside but instead, he was more interested in watching the lawn guy. He did, of course, turn to look at me when I opened the door to take his picture.
You may notice from the photo that we added another bird feeder. That is another story. Those Nanday Conures I had mentioned in a previous post had been visiting our neighbor and Rose wanted them to visit our house but we were using the wrong bird seed because of a previous issue with a rat. Since we hadn’t seen the rat, we thought we would throw caution to the wind and try to lure the birds to our house.
I ordered seed from Amazon but the bird feeder from Home Depot. It arrived without the plexiglass sides, so it had no way to hold the seeds. To speed things along, I went to our local Home Depot, which does not sell bird feeders, and bough a sheet of plexiglass which I cut to size. I then learned that the seed I ordered had been delayed so I went to Pet Supermarket the next day and bought conure seed.
At some point in the middle of all this I ran into my neighbor who mentioned that the Nandays stopped coming to his feeder. I don’t think they are migratory birds but what are the odds they stop coming around at the very moment I am putting something together to attract them.
Anyway, the new feeder has been up since Tuesday, but no new birds have shown up yet.

what is it they call that…murphy’s law ‼️ hope home depot gave you a credit for the missing glass….
lookin good dood, N joy yur cat ur day ‼️😸🐾💚
Thanks. I did get a credit.
Having one bird feeder per kitty makes for a lot of fun!
Good point.
If you build it, they will come… Isn’t that the way it works? I mean it worked for baseball guys in the movies…
Sloppy kisses,
Delilah
I hope that’s the way it works. We will find out.
Around here, a lot of people stop feeding because the doves and grackles bully all the other birds away and get everything. I hope you get your Nanday Conures.
We have doves but they are not aggressive and they rarely eat from the feeder. They are the clean-up crew and eat what falls to the ground.
Nice spot Frankie. I hope your birds show up.
Thanks. Me too.
Well what sounded like a nice easy project turned into a somewhat more complicated one……and no birds!!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy
Hopefully they will come.
They must absolutely love sitting there and looking out at that beautiful scenery!
I’m sure they do but often Frankie lies on the concrete where he can’t see anything.
Peepers does our lawn, here. Thankfully, not too often, if you know what I mean.
(Not sure if the neighbours are thankful but I know long breaks between mowings are music to MY ears.)
Love & purrs always,
Seville.
The grass grows fast in the summer but in the winter we get a longer break.
I hope your beautiful conures will someday show up! Or any other pretty birds for thast matter, and no rats, thank you very much!
Frankie and Floki have good viewing perches if they care to use them.
We were getting a lot of visits from a pair of cardinals who would take turns on the feeder but now we have a couple of purple finches that come a lot but they are together on the feeder
Hopefully they will return. We have a rotating cast of birds around since we started putting in native plants
They still have not showed up but we have seen a few birds we haven’t seen before.
