© DeadlyTeaParty Property Please join my nature page: www.facebook.com You’ll never guess what I came across today?? I CAME ACROSS A GOLDFINCH’S NEST; EVEN BETTER THE ACTUAL PAIR WERE MAKING IT!! I love these little birds; they are so bright and colourful; to be truthful I find it real had to get great videos of them!! Latin name Carduelis carduelis Family Finches (Fringillidae) Overview A highly coloured finch with a bright red face and yellow wing patch. Sociable, often breeding in loose colonies, they have a delightful liquid twittering song and call. Their long fine beaks allow them to extract otherwise inaccessible seeds from thistles and teasels. Increasingly they are visiting birdtables and feeders. In winter many UK goldfinches migrate as far south as Spain. Where to see them Anywhere there are scattered bushes and trees, rough ground with thistles and other seeding plants. Likes orchards, parks, gardens, heathland and commons. Less common in upland areas and most numerous in southern England. When to see them All year round. What they eat Seeds and insects in summer.

Design specifications: The house was designed to keep the birds off the ground in order to keep them away from the danger below. The chains (1 foot * 8 pieces total for top and bottom) on top of the bird house are designed to hold the bird house on top of the ceiling. The chains attach to the included “L” shaped brackets, which mount to the ceiling of your structure with eight screws. The 4 chains under the house are designed to attach additional small cages, pools, etc. ( Exterior design can be changed…) The house was built from natural wood, screws and washers as well as the rope and metal brackets. The roof of the house is covered with plastic for easy cleanup. The structure of the bird house is not made with any glue. Let your birds enjoy the freedom of your home!!!

The Blue Jay is frequenting the feeder now! Many baby birds learning to fly are there getting lessons from parents. I have some close ups of them. There is also a new visitor at feed station, a House Sparrow.

Screech owls are found throughout much of North America, but much of their natural habitat has vanished due to human intervention. You can be a steward of nature by building a nesting box for owls using these instructions.

I heard a funny sound as I walked into our home office this morning. I looked out of the window and there were a bazillion bees swarming outside of the window. The Queen must have needed a rest because when one of the bees settled on our bird feeder, the rest of them started forming this “hive”. There is nothing under them except a thin metal bird feeder. That’s 100% BEES !!!
