We are now heading into our summers... the temperatures go soaring high!! Placing contains of grains & water at various locations help birds survive the hot summers... As the mercury will be soaring to 40 next month, birds find it difficult to even find water... As a result... many of them die!!
Can you see the little birdie on my mail box?? Hoping she will be calling out to the other birds...
This summer, I'm gifting bird baths to all my friends. The girls & I are making a little brochure for school and for each of their school mates ... We are hoping they will take it home and have a little bird bath in their homes!! And in turn I can only hope, that we will save a few of these little birdies...
Here is my little attempt at providing them with water... On a trunk in the garden is this bowl, that I've converted into a bird bath.. This summer, I also intend to keep a bowl of grains...
I'm currently on the look out for another bird bath for the terrace as well... I was hoping to find something with a small bowl for grains and some shade.. When I find one.. I'll post pics soon..

Your little birds are so sweet, Patty. Hope you have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteThats a fab idea!
ReplyDeleteLovely birds patty and I hear them chirping around your place. The birdie on the postbox and the 2 birds - wow they are sooooo cute. what a fantastic thing to do - To gift a bird bath to all friends - I think I will take it from you and in 2011 I will only gift bird houses to wherever I am invited :-). Thanks for the wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteNice idea. I saw it on Fb with my Mysore friend leaving some water outside for the birds. What a lovely lovely idea. We do it, but on the opposite side :), during late fall so they have eat something and hopefully fly south. This year I am hoping to capture the hummingbird on film. He is wayyyyyy too fast for me. Half the time I just watch the birds in amazement and forget to click pictures. They are such an adorable bunch.

Love this sweet and timely post. All of your little bird figures are adorable. Out bird baths stay in action all year and feeders as well. Our climate encourages many year round birds. Thanks for reminding us. Ginger

:D In the colder parts of the world, it's more a winter thing--we hang out bird-feed heavy with fat and sugar so they can survive the harsh winters. I think Shanthi had written a lovely post on this sometime!
ReplyDeleteLovely thought, one worth following up with action!
