I picked up this bluebird music box statue at a thrift store about six years ago because,
after all...
after all...
... who doesn't love bluebirds?
A few years later this bluebird gravy boat came home with me because, again,
how could I resist the bluebirds?
I own this video of Shirley Temple in The Blue Bird.
I love Shirley Temple. And bluebirds.
And this little green 'bluebird house' storage box came home with me from a thrifting expedition a few years ago because... Well, I think by now you know why.
So now that I have this little guy and his friends visiting my very own back yard on a regular basis (for the first time ever!)...
... I've made sure I have all the necessities on hand to entice them to stay such as
Insect Suet and Mealworm Suet and freeze dried mealworms...
... and fresh water (in a heated birdbath as it's often still below freezing here in New England!)...
... and we put up one bluebird house in the back yard
(it's the birdhouse that is new wood and hasn't weathered yet)...
... and another in the side yard, both placed 6-8' high because my research said
that that's the height bluebirds like!
Yes, I'm doing all I can to keep these beautiful little blue birds as regular visitors...
... because it's been THE most amazing experience having them visit us on a daily basis -
a once in a lifetime experience!
(or at the very least, a once in 33 years experience since that's how long
we've lived in this house without ever seeing a single one!)
So are we tweaking our yard to make them feel welcome?
You betcha!
