    This is amazing! I used to hand feed birds a long time ago in my Philadelphia backyard. They would even hover at the window when we’d come home from work for me to feed them. We’d open the back door and say “Chickadees want seed?” It was an incredible experience.. I have t been able to do this much anymore. Also I remember feeding an immature goldfinch.. it didn’t want to leave my hand. It took a lot of patience I remember. Once they trust you, they trust you. And you know which is which? And name them? Wow. !!!! The joy this brings you must be immense. Happy Birding!!!

    Thank you, Leslie. I'm new to your channel. I found a turtle dove in my area (southern Minnesota) 15 years ago. I was going to nurse him back to health and release him. Turns out he was just freezing to death because they are originally from India! So we kept him in the house. We let him fly around the house sometimes and he's been a wonderful addition to our family. Like I said, we've had him 15 years....I don't know how long they live in captivity, but he will be loved forever. I'm kind of a bird nerd too!😊

    Hi! I saw 2 robins on my deck last week and the grackles are grackling around. The male goldfinches are just starting to become sunny. Our 2 mourning doves cuddle on the pear tree. We still have snow down but it's slowly melting. I've started what seedlings I can, they're all cozy under their lamp. These are strange and sorrowful times. My mum died in February from cancer. Then the world became turmoil. I don't even know when we can place her remains in her columbarium niche. It may be months. Those of us who love and enjoy nature are blessed. A moment of joy can be easily found.
