Bird feeders and birdhouses
You can attract birds to your yard with store-bought birdhouses or
feeders, but creating your own adds a personal touch.
* Simple, unpainted bird feeders and birdhouses are available at
pet stores and craft stores. Older kids, especially, enjoy decorating
these objects with such elaborate details as shutters, picket fences,
flowers, and shingles.
* For the teen who enjoys a challenge, pick up a kit that provides
all the pieces necessary to make a feeder or birdhouse but requires
assembly. Some of these are relatively simple and can be completed in
a day or so. Others can take up to a month (allowing time for the glue
and paint to dry). If you're unable to find these kits at a craft
store, check out woodworking supply catalogues or the Internet.
A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.
