I live near the Pacific Ocean. People want to feed the sea lions, seals, all so strangely cute. There are signs at every rest stop saying not to feed them. I understand the urge but it's dangerous to anthropomorphize wild animals.

My MIL has become unwell and isn't able to go outside any longer, she does have a Sun porch and a larger deck, these would be AMAZING to make for her from my kiddos, where she could sit in her home and watch the birds and nature she has always loved and worked so hard in .. and what a special gift from my kids to their Nana. THANK YOU for sharing this. How amazing 3 yrs later and your video is STILL giving a gift to the animals AND those who need companionship... That is beautiful!!! thank you so much. (We are going to make a few of these to take to the elderly in our neighborhood that aren't able to get out because of health and temps to bring a little joy to their days. THANK YOU again! Blessings from your friend in NC

You are truly blessed with such a vision. The birds can have Christmas too🎄🐦💚. God bless you and your family Laura 🙏

Omg I can’t believe I found this. I’m looking for a way to feed my little friends outside and God sent me here ..yes God did that cause I prayed silently and this was the first video that came up after that. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ this is perfect!

Very nice! Remember, grow trees and bushes that give shelter and food that the native birds enjoy. A gift that keeps on giving:)💞 and in spring plant plants and flowers that will provide nectar and seeds.

Very good point plant trees and shrubs as habitat for the birds if you want them in your yard, also make sure to choose trees and shrubs that grow berries for the birds to eat .

Hypocrisy to my opinion... Those who are feeding birds are the same who are chopping trees to have a neat lawn, a bigger house, a pool, or supporting highway constructions, etc... Typical cognitive dissonance.... Wake up people this mental disease is spreading @ warp speed... Adapting nature to human consumerism lifestyle is making anthropomorphism. Nature & wildlife don't need us or shouldn't be dependant on us to exist. But this doesn't mean we shouldn't protect Nature. Just be able to avoid this kind of misunderstanding/manipulation trick. This propaganda means : If wildlife doesn't buy on the supermaket, let's incite people to buy us food for it by making nature dependant on the market... This is just an indirect consumerism trap folks... spread by demons... This is disguized domestication + unconscious human manipulation & manipulated ideology to justify further ecosystems degradation ; and feel reassured because we can still feed wild animals . It's an occult financial/satanic cult ! This is just lying to ourselves by not understanding this.

Love these ideas!!! They say to leave the garden be before winter so the birds have something to eat, but I totally understand wanting the peace of knowing that under the snow things are nice and tidy!!! But this way the birds get more fat and calories, and they certainly have an easier time getting to these nutrients!!! They sing for their supper and reward you with birdsong!!! So sweet, Laura.

I love how kind you are to wildlife and all the cute strays that come your way.👍

That was so lovely to watch. Now I know one of the many reasons I find your videos so soothing and calming. You have the innate ability to convey the feeling of Home. Thank you!

These are fantastic. I have made the clay pot feeder and will make the others. Thx, Laura. I wish you were my neighbor.

Yep the birdies need food too. What an outstanding way to feed them all winter long.

Stunning looking, the birds are full in winter, and no plastic ornaments used to choke the wild life.. Wonderful!!

That was so cute! The birds were so Thankful!

That's like making suet. I guess you could make squares of it and place it in a holder.

i just love all these ideas and cant wait to try them myself for all the birds that come into my yard.

I love when KZread sends me a gem 🤗… this is amazing and totally do able for me……I have my first birds in the bird box I made 2 years ago to my surprise I can watch them come and go on the security camera we put up last year . We do feed the birds but it’s dull in comparison it’s time to jolly out up again . Stay safe stay well x

I love the apple and orange garland! Omg the decorated tree!! I want to make one this week! It’s so cold right now so we put towels and blankets outside for them. U

What a creative woman you are Laura ❤️🐦🍊🍎. Thanks and blessings 😘💕

Love this idea. My yard looks like an Alfred Hitchcock movie all winter long.

I remember seeing a bird feeder years ago that was simply a "higher-than-me" metal pole stuck deep enough into the ground to keep it steady...had a large flat dish sitting on the top of it...and about 2/3rds of the way up that pole was a much larger flat dish that the pole had gone through: and this dish's underside was smeared with vaseline so the squirrels couldn't get to any food in the top dish. I think anyone with some imagination could figure out how to make this, and it just might work in keeping pesky squirrels away. 😄 Anyway, it's just an idea. 💖

@VCcoffee68

3 жыл бұрын

The squirrels are frustrating little critters. Unfortunately the Vaseline isn’t a great idea. Often the birds will hold onto the pole with Vaseline and it could make it difficult for them to fly. A baffle can be made by looking on KZread or bought at several feed stores. 😊

Rubbing hotsauce on pumpkins can keep squirrels from eating jackolanterns, and birds dont have the tastebuds for spicy things, maybe toss the seeds with hotsauce?

Thanks for this video! I love feeding the birds especially in the winter/colder months. Birds are so fun to watch. When you feed them on a regular basis, you’ll notice returning birds. And then they bring their significant other and offspring. It’s really quite fun! Tfs such good ideas! God bless. ❤️💜💚

I LOVE these ideas!! Not only doing they look amazing on the tree you can watch for the amazing birds that will come!!

These look so pretty and so cute, but currently I live along a green belt/nature trail and so I already get furry visitors daily and nightly (squirrels, raccoons, and oppossums) that would raid these and tear them to shreds within minutes. Otherwise I would do it.

Can something else be used for corn syrup which is for humans a bad product? I imagine for birds as well.
