What transits might account for birds trying to take over my house? Planet/sign ruling birds?

Every morning at 6:30am a cardinal smashes into the sliding glass door at the end of my bedroom.

Every morning (at varying times, I guess he can’t tell time) a woodpecker pecks my roof above my bedroom window.

wtf?
Really … I can’t make this stuff up.

If you could be any type of bird, which would it be?

I’ve noticed I have numerous types of birds visiting or living in my yard. Just today I saw cardinals, blue jays, house wrens, a brown thrasher, bluebirds, hummingbirds, some sort of large, red headed woodpecker (with a round head, no crest), mockingbirds, sparrows, robins and a couple more which I have no idea what they are. I also have a catbird living close by.

And so I started wondering what sort of bird I’d like to be if I could be one, and I think I’d like to be an owl of some sort. I think it would be cool to glide through the trees like a sentinel of the night or perch on a very high limb, just a silhouette against the Moon.

What about you? What bird would you like to be, if any?

Thanks,

Seniors, what kinds of birds are gathered at your feeder right now?

I see a ton of wrens and sparrows, once in awhile a woodpecker or a blue jay, and there’s always a couple of cardinals, male and female, who always seem to take turns at the feeder. I wonder why?

What type of seed to feed wild birds?

Posted by Filed Under Cardinal Bird Feeder with 3 Comments

In my front yard I have a tube feeder and a suet feeder. The types of birds that i usually see around the feeders are Cardinals, Carolina Chickadee, Downy Woodpecker. I also have seen small brown birds but im not really sure what they are. The cardinals mainly picks up scraps off the ground. I have a male and female that come around. The Chickadee mainly eats out of the tube feeder but I seen it eating out of the suet feeder and sometimes eating the seed on the ground. The male and female woodpecker mainly eat out of the suet feeder but i’ve seen them on the tube feeder too. I don’t have squirrels. Raccoons and possum have been seen around my house too. So, anything that wont attract them would be nice. And I would like to know of the best kind of suet that would be good for all of the birds and the best type of seed. Right now I have a high energy blend of suet that is in the suet feeder and the type of seed i have just says wild bird seed but the ingredients are Milo,
White Prosso Millet and Sunflower seed. I would also like to know if a bird bath would be good I seed some the you can hang from a tree. Would these type of birds use something like that.
