Bird feeders (Suet rolls) are a wonderful way to observe the little comical Silver-eyes/Wax-eyes in your garden and it also helps them get through the winter months...Our garden is full of these little birds and the feeding frenzy begins at dawn and ends at sunset...Now that spring is in the air our garden will become bare...as they head off to breed in the New Zealand bush

purple squirrel Under normal circumstances, if you want to see an exotic animal with brilliantly colored fur or feathers, you would have to go to the closest zoo. Not if you're Pennsylvania residents Connie and Percy Emert. The couple found a purple squirrel in their yard. The Emerts live in Jersey Shore and have bird feeders in their yard. In an interview with Accuweather.com, Connie Emert said the squirrels are always getting into their bird feeders, and in an effort to keep the squirrels away, she and her husband will trap them and then release them into the wild away from their home. So how does a squirrel become purple? Connie Emert says people think they dyed the squirrel, but they insist that they "found it and it was purple." There is no definite cause for this particular squirrel's color, but scientist and some locals have their theories. One zoologist suggested that the creature may have fallen into a Porta-Potty, and some worried that the squirrel's tint could prove dangerous to humans. One professor says the purple tint could be from the squirrel drinking bromide-laced water from fracking in the area. Hydraulic fracking, which is common throughout Pennsylvania, is a controversial procedure of drilling for gas that environmentalists oppose because it can lead to ground water contamination from highly toxic radioactive wastewater. However it got its color, the purple squirrel has become an Internet celebrity with its own Twitter and Facebook accounts. One person ...

Looking for some cheap fun? With a little creativity, you can make your backyard a squirrel's olympic playground.

Jon Friedman, owner of The Wild Bird Store in Tucson Arizona, discusses the importance of hummingbird feeders versus the planting of nectar producing flowers. Flowers will, indeed, attract the hummers but feeders are a more reliable source of nectar. www.wildbirdsonline.com

One and only visit to our bird feeder a Siskin (Carduelis Spinus) This little bird seems to have rings on both legs so maybe it is part of a tracking programme or escaped from captivity Video a bit wobbly as I just snatched up the camera and put it on full zoom, hand held.

Living in the Rocky Mountains at 9000 feet with the Pike National Forest at the west property fence, we are lucky to see and enjoy a multitude of wild critters. I thought the sights and sounds of Bandtail Pigeons on my bird feeder would make an interesting recording. Bandies are VERY wary birds that fly off at the least disturbance. Their "pecking order" habits and sounds are what this video is all about. My camera is about 100 feet away. While I sit quietly, all of the other birds in the area continue with their activities and sounds. Please enjoy!

This morning 3 Wild Turkeys hopped/jumped over my back fence into my yard. After they ate some seeds they walked across the snow and hopped over my old fence into my neighbors yard. He also feeds the birds. I put out the Scratch Grains for them. We went back to Agway today and got a 50 Pound bag of (Scratch Grains) Cracked Corn, Oats and Wheat for the Wild Turkeys!
