Chickadee Taps on Window?

One of my Blogger buddies told me about a mysterious chickadee bird tapping on the window. Here is some info and links you might want to check out, along with plenty of my own information.

"Black-Capped Chickadees are bold and inquisitive and are usually the first to find a new feeder. They appreciate a reliable food source and have been known to tap on windows if the feeder runs low."



The Chickadee may be trying to get your attention or most likely get in. A good solution is to check the feeder for daily fillings, or look for something that is irritating the bird. For example, a large squirrel was bombarding our feeder, and the birds got angry at him. They perched in the pear trees and would chirp loudly.  We put out safflower seeds and not as many squirrels came.








Do you feed the birds? If so, they have an uncanny ability to sense when the seeds are going out. We have  chickadees and titmice, purple finches, mourning doves and nut hatches near out house. Everyday at noon they gather in the two trees in front of our door and wait for us to open it and spread some seed on the grass and patio. It's great fun to see and hear them.

Another reason for your bird to go from window to window is that it sees its own reflection in the glass and thinks it's another bird. We had a bird last year who kept attacking our glass patio door all day long until it was exhausted. We didn't know what to do. Finally, we put a piece of cardboard over the door and that seemed to work.

Good Luck!

Please Read Me! What is Your Pet Thankful For?

Thanksgiving is coming up, and it's time to celebrate! I hope you noticed all the new changes I put on the blog, including a cute fish-feeding gadget(on the bottom page--they'll follow your mouse and if you click on the water you will feed them!) and a different design and color scheme. I was hesitant to change the look of my blog because then it may not look "critter-y, or whatever that means. Also, just for today I will say a few things and then be done with it--no critter info today, guys!

I am thankful for:


food--Daisy

Running on my wheel--Peanut

Water;I'd die without it--Jaws(my fish)

My pets--me,(Nature Girl)




Now, you go ahead! Comment A.S.A.P every single day (one comment on one post per person) Then I'll post a special blog on Thanksgiving listing everything you and your pet is thankful for!





P.S: Please remember to ask your friends to tell you about what they are thankful for if you don't have a pet. Thank you!!

Introduction

Well, this is my first post, so here goes:

This blog is for those people who love all animals, but have a special place in their heart for the small animals of the world.
 You know, the adorable critters that you can hold and love, the ones that you don't mind if they are making noise all night on that wheel, or the cute creatures who others call "creepy?"

If you have any of these animals, or know someone who does: you're not alone, because this blog is dedicated to those little guys, their owners, and hearts who have very tiny pawprints all over them.



So, I'd better introduce you to my critters. I have a rabbit named Daisy and a hamster named Peanut and I may get a pet rat. The idea of having a blog came from them. One day, I thought, "wouldn't it be great if I could share my love with other critter-loving people?" Thats when I finally was able to get a blog.
Basically, I'll try to post something every other day, and you won't just be hearing about my pets, you'll hear about every kind of critter there is. Critter Corner has info, crafts, and more from, me(and even some "daily posts" from Daisy and Peanut.)


Okay, thats all for now, but you won't be disappointed with tommorow's post on Critter Corner!
