I love birds. I really do. I love birds that fly around my yard and birds that are contained in cages. I can't walk into the pet store (to buy dog food) without walking by and admiring the adorable birds.
I want a bird. One that "poofs" and looks all plump and cute.
Because I don't really need another "pet" on top of the one I already have, I have resolved to simply feed the backyard birds.
And they make me very happy. My feeder is right outside my kitchen window and I stand there and admire the birds often during the day. I love them!
However, I have given them new names. Piggies. They aren't birds, their pigs.
I buy a 10lb bag and go through it within a week. I have to refrain from filling it the minute the feeder is empty because pretty soon feeding the birds will cost the same as feeding my kids. At this point I think I spend more on the wild bird food than I do dog food. (But I love them!!)
