The cats killed my mother martin that had hatched 5 babies in my bluebird box,thus letting the babies die. Hopefully the gourds will be higher and the cats can't get to them.This was one lone pair that had built in the bluebird box. We had watched so intently for a couple of weeks, and were so excited about the little couple building and raising their first set of young ones. The main flock have their regular housing up high on a tall pole elsewhere on the property.Sue from Ky.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06555815218871299696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400517852376772199.post-45842096394500508582011-07-01T09:02:23.297-07:002011-07-01T09:02:23.297-07:00hmm that is a very good idea (about the tines from...hmm that is a very good idea (about the tines from the rake)!<br /><br />And i your little hummingbird feeders are quite lovely and small!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing<br />LeontienLeontienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15311969195332643600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400517852376772199.post-59372945769184624002011-04-20T19:09:39.769-07:002011-04-20T19:09:39.769-07:00We bought 22 bobwhite quail at the auction.We have...We bought 22 bobwhite quail at the auction.We have never tried to raise them before, so we are playing it by ear just to see what we can do with them. Most folks eat them when they are grown, but I doubt we could do that after raising them.We may let them lay eggs if they will do so in captivity,then sell the eggs or babies if they produce any and we keep them alive that long. I gave $2. a piece for mine at a few days old,but we may not be that lucky when it comes selling time.Sue from Ky.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06555815218871299696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400517852376772199.post-90723317237773888782011-04-20T18:41:46.068-07:002011-04-20T18:41:46.068-07:00very nice, we dont have hummingbirds but we do hav...very nice, we dont have hummingbirds but we do have lots of other birds that can come and feed in the garden. we have tui's and wood pidgeons, waxeyes and common sparrows,fantails, miners and finches. around the countryside we see pheasants, californian quails and native pukeko's as well. we dont have any bright tropical type birds like australia or south america though.Brenda The Bregle Rebel Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339446362664808456noreply@blogger.com
