Snowy Day for the Birds

At my house, my cats Lola and Zoe spend many hours in front of their deluxe "Cat TV". This wintry morning the birds have been very active at the feeder and that is very exciting for the cats!

I searched quite a while for the right bird feeder: one that would keep the pigeons out, but that the little birds would like. I found this one, developed by the British Trust for Ornithology and sold by National Geographic  and it works perfectly! It hangs on the fire escape outside our living room window. I keep it stocked with a delicious mixture of sunflower seeds and other seeds and nuts. Sparrows, finches, and juncos all come to feed. The pigeons look on enviously, but just don't have any luck getting in.

Here is the feeder in action.  

 And this is Zoe after a typical day's work, watching the birds!

My friend Denis took these last three photos. Thank you!
