Better do as he says Betsy. My grandmother always said that cardinals could grant wishes. My grandfather always swore that the very first thing I said was "red bird". :-) Lynne in NC
Is that right! That is good to know! I love this little guy! He's been around for years all year long! He makes eye contact through the window and sings to me. I'm smitten. ha. I'd gladly trade bird seed for a wish! :)
Too funny - he is your birdie boyfriend! And doesn't he look handsome in that straight-on shot. I can never get over their vibrancy. Do you keep the feeders full in the spring/summer as well?
He is indeed. And he knows it! I was just reading about feeding them at this time of year and the site I was on said "yes!" because a) the plants and bushes are not in full swing yet for them to eat from and b) they are mating and collecting and nesting in the spring and that takes even more energy. Makes sense and hadn't thought much about that!
I hate that they make you have a title each day That should be a decision for me to leave or take away! Why do they care if the title I want to leave bare?
What??? I believe you wear a yellow costume, Ed. ;)
Keith...he's usually a gentleman (the bird, not Eddie). I don't know where his manners were! I guess he was really hungry. The thing is, when I went out there with seed, the feeder wasn't completely empty...almost, but not totally barren. ha.
Does the Mister approve of all these "flighty" relationships you are involved in!! HaHa. You are a doll, he got that right. My birds are not happy with me, as I've been so busy, I haven't bought more seed. I can take my humming bird feeder...they won't make a mess on a balcony, but the other birds will have to go next door, as she puts out lots of good seeds.
Oh, he knows I coo out the window at all of them, flirting shamelessly. lol.... Well, it's good to know your birds can go next door! It will be fun to see if you get hummingbirds!
Like you, I feed the birds all year... Less in the Summer....but...all year! It gives such pleasure, doesn't it? Now...hop to it....feed Mr Handsome! Cheers! Linda :o)
Ps....your friend Keith visited me... He and Eddie make quite a pair,eh?
If your garden birds are anything like mine in terms of their appetite (mine can't compare in colour) then it is a non-stop process keeping them fed at the moment. I have taken to buying cheap loafs from the Supermarket to feed them with.
Hi Betsy .. he/she does look a little spade lip like .. come on .. and I sure hope their feeder is full ... bless the soul .. lovely photo - cheers Hilary
I understand when birds talk to you. We have two bird baths. One for the crows and the other is for all the rest. When the crows don't have water in theirs, they all sit on the fence and "talk" to me. Telling me they need water.
Too cute. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't he? :)

DeleteOh no!!! Neglecting the Cardinals!!! They must have heard that you have designs on an owl!!! xx
ReplyDeletelol...oh, no...he'll always be my favorite. haha.

ReplyDeleteNo! We could have nun of that!
DeleteAhh! I see!! lol thought you'd done a typo! 'nun' love it!
DeleteWell done, 'sister' :)
A typo? Parish the thought!
DeleteObviously a clerical error!!
DeleteI'll have to confess it!
DeleteCan we a'spire' to this for much longer?
DeleteGetting harder ad'mininiste'ring it!
LOL
Maybe you should pray for stamina. lol...
DeleteEr! . . . . continue tomorrow . . . I feel as though I have climbed a steeple!
DeleteGoodnight! :)
Yes, you do look as though you've had your bell rung. ha.
DeleteCheeky! Well I do like someone who can ring my chimes! :)
DeleteToo funny - he is your birdie boyfriend! And doesn't he look handsome in that straight-on shot. I can never get over their vibrancy. Do you keep the feeders full in the spring/summer as well?
ReplyDeleteHe is! He's so handsome, how can I not get weak knees. lol... Yes, I keep them full all year. He's spoiled!
DeleteHe is indeed. And he knows it! I was just reading about feeding them at this time of year and the site I was on said "yes!" because a) the plants and bushes are not in full swing yet for them to eat from and b) they are mating and collecting and nesting in the spring and that takes even more energy. Makes sense and hadn't thought much about that!
Deleteyes, and I think they get in the habit of having the supply there...if you suddenly stop, it's really hard on them to find a new source.
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteI think he is, too!
DeleteAnd give him a Jack Nicholson voice. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLaughing!
DeleteOh, now THAT would be funny!
DeleteGeez slacking at your sea
ReplyDeleteEven have a dot for a title, so lazy lol
I hate that they make you have a title each day
DeleteThat should be a decision for me to leave or take away!
Why do they care
if the title I want to leave bare?
So they can have a search engine chime
DeleteWithout a title google thinks its a crime
Oh, you are probably right!
DeleteWhat will they do with my punctuation plight? ha.
He is nice Betsy and told you Doll like Silver! lol
ReplyDeleteHello Gloria
DeleteNow if he was grey with a batman symbol on his chest, we'd really have to wonder, wouldn't we? lol....
DeleteYes is true:)
DeleteWhat cheek! Who does he think he is?
ReplyDeleteEddie of course!! lol
DeleteWhat??? I believe you wear a yellow costume, Ed. ;)
DeleteKeith...he's usually a gentleman (the bird, not Eddie). I don't know where his manners were! I guess he was really hungry. The thing is, when I went out there with seed, the feeder wasn't completely empty...almost, but not totally barren. ha.
Oh! obviously a case of mistaken identity! LOL
DeleteMaybe you're the little gold finch that comes by? The one with the black beret? lol....
DeleteThe French beret ah!! "Oui Madam! Agréable d'être avec vous!!!"
DeleteI had to translate that. haha. Why, thank you! :)
DeleteEnchante Ma belle et magnifique dame :)
Deleteha.

Now...hop to it....feed Mr Handsome!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Ps....your friend Keith visited me...
He and Eddie make quite a pair,eh?
Keith is a sweetheart!
DeleteAnd he can cook! He's quite the gourmet...even trained in France.
A witty and charming gentleman. I think you'll like him! :)
Yes, I do love my birds...sweet and entertaining and usually not demanding. haha.
What about Eddie? Isn't he a sweetheart? . . . . or a gentleman? Just joking, I know you and Linda do!! - not sure anout Gloria though! ROFL
DeleteOh my gosh you nailed this one, too cute!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that expression hilarious? :)
DeleteGreat pic and caption!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mildred! :) I couldn't resist putting words in his mouth.

ReplyDeleteIt is non-stop! I can't believe how much they eat. I don't think they do anything else all day long!
DeleteHi Betsy .. he/she does look a little spade lip like .. come on .. and I sure hope their feeder is full ... bless the soul .. lovely photo - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHe's so spoiled! The feeder gets a little low and he starts looking at me! ha.
DeleteI understand when birds talk to you.
ReplyDeleteWe have two bird baths. One for the crows and the other is for all the rest.

Oh, that is funny! How nice of the crows not to raid the other bath! haha.
DeleteSo, where was Mrs. Cardinal while Mr. Cardinal was making his demands?
ReplyDeleteMaybe she was sitting on a nest?
