The birds in Morris Park ravage our birdfeeder, which was filled with sunflower seeds. This time-lapse video shows the birds on the afternoon of January 21st, 2014, during a snowstorm.
HOW TO FEED THE BIRDS
A Website about Urban Environmental Restoration in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia
I was just watching your video a second time, Sean, when I realized the food was going from full to empty…pow! It must be the only game in the neighborhood. I hope you can keep it filled for them.
My feeder (looks the very same as yours) is busy all day long, but the food lasts nearly two weeks. It seems more of a social thing with the neighborhood birds, rather than the desperation for sustenance your crowd exhibits. The difference between North Florida and Philadelphia….
The feeder lasts one day and it is pricey. We fill it on the most wintery of days and we are trying to provide water too, from time to time.
Heavens, those birds are famished. I’m used to seeing ours picking up a few seeds and then looking around to see who else is there. It’s tough country up there. Thanks for the video. Penny
I wonder what theyve been eating before we started feeding them.
Halleluliah for the angel birds who flock to seed and bless our houses… living somehow through weather we wouldn’t wish on a living soul… in some divine protection, or going back to the airiness which is all birds’ domain… (how few bones of birds we see in the wild… do they just dissolve away?). And God bless the bird feeders who remember (in summer too!) to feed them!
