Last year, we introduced a new bird-feeder to our garden from Birdfy Netvue, and we were amazed to witness 14 different bird species visiting and enjoying their meals from it. After a bit of cleaning and care, it’s now back in action. Here’s a delightful moment captured: one of the Cardinals trying out the blueberries I placed in the feeder.

Managing the amount of bird seed we offer sometimes becomes a bit overwhelming. This inspired us to invest in two Blueberry plants and plant sunflowers as natural food sources for the birds. These plants will serve as supplements when we’re away traveling. It dawned on me how much the birds depend on the food we provide, so it’s reassuring to know they’ll have alternative resources available when we’re away.

Check out this adorable video featuring a female Northern Cardinal! She looks so delicate with her lovely eyelashes. Fun fact: did you know that male and female Cardinals mate for life? When the female is busy laying her eggs and guarding the nest, the male Cardinal takes on the role of provider, bringing her food and even feeding her. It’s just one of the many heartwarming behaviors of these beautiful birds!

We’re thrilled to announce our fantastic new addition to Our Charming Backyard Garden! Our aim is to have it all set up and ready to go by the end of today. I’m bursting with excitement to share this news with you! Keep an eye out for updates!
