Eh, Why The Heck Not?

Eh, why the heck not?

How about we just have like... hey trans people, post your pay links or wishlist or whatever you got without the exclusionist stuff. I'll just reblog em a bunch.

my cameo from jason, in which he reads my most favorite passage from the magician king, and is the most adorable endearing darling in the process.

We get a lot of wet here, and we’ve never had our bird feed mold, though I think some things do sprout if they stay too long in a very wet tray.

We’re too far inland to see gulls much, though when it’s very stormy they come further in-- in California we’d get gulls when it was stormy on the coast and then they’d go back out, here not so much. It’s mostly songbirds/sparrows/finches that we get coming for our seed feeders, but we’re trying to court the crows. We put a general seed mix out that’s got millet and sunflower seeds, but then we also give them treats! For the crows specifically we’ve put out the old cat food that doesn’t comply with either boy’s current dietary needs, but of course you can’t dump more than a few pieces at a time or neighbor cats will think we’ll feed them... and then sometimes a corn chip or some popcorn or some other bird-friendly scraps, and then we put out nuts. Sometimes a few almonds and we also have a big bag of mixed nuts in shell and because most of us have a low-key walnut allergy, the birds will get the walnuts while the humans eat the pecans/hazelnuts.

I know there are doves and pigeons that I see on drives but they sadly don’t come to our yard here-- old house, we had a dove family that nested with us every year. I’ve seen a GORGEOUS pinky-brown pigeon out by the bridge we cross to get to the doctor’s office but they don’t hang around suburban bird feeders I guess. And the crows don’t really throw their weight around too much with the songbirds. The squirrels’ territory seems to end a couple blocks out from us because they never show up at the feeders. Outside of the seed feeders and the occasional treat, we’ve got a hummingbird feeder, but not a suet feeder at present. We used to have one of those up in the mountains and it attracted corvids!

does anyone here feed birds in their gardens/yards?

i’m ordering some bird feeders to hang from my windows but i’d love to hear any personal advice or experience other people have had with it!

i’ve looked at a few trays, but i was really worried about bird faeces landing in the tray and stuff, especially because it’s on my windowsill and i don’t know what my working hours would be, so i didn’t want to worry about birds getting ill and stuff - i’ve ordered one of these very light feeders that hangs from a hook and hanging one to begin with, and then if that one goes well i’m gonna hang another on the other window

i was thinking it would be best to start now as we come into august, and then kinda keep it up because i know birds need to take some time to find new food sources, but then they keep at it!

i don’t personally have a big yard space or anything - we have really good, wide windowsills, and outside one of my windows is downstairs’ roof which a lot of birds come and settle on, but i haven’t the lawn or trees or anything
