It started out on this spike feeder, which is actually for cobs of corn. But it seemed to scare the birds away from the feeding platform. So I decided to hang in off the side of the feeder and then it started to attract a lot of attention, especially from the chickadees.
The chickadees became acrobats as they landed on the snowman, gently swinging back and forth as they enjoyed the seeds.
You can see how the seed is disapearing, along with the arms of the snowman.
There is hardly anything left of the snowman now, so I need to find something else to keep the acrobats happy.
These are the perfect photos for linking with Camera Critters.
I love him.

We ALL love him;-). Who bought this most thoughtful and useful present for you and the birdies. I think more christmas presents should be like this, simple, and low cost, fantastic idea
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to seeing them as they drop by. And their chirping is a beautiful sound.

What a great idea for a bird feeder! I love the little perching birds. I found the best new bird book at Costco the other day and still can't identify some of the birds at my feeder.
ReplyDeleteThe birds look like they are having fun. But tooo bad about the cutie snowman.

The snowman was sooo cute, my first thought after the chickadees found it was 'Poor Snowman', but I am sure they were very entertaining. Such curious little birds. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the chickadees eating! What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteHi Captain Shagrat, my very good friend bought this lovely little snowman for me.
ReplyDeleteI thought that too, Garden of Threads, and that may be why I didn't put it out in the winter right away. I'm glad I kept it till summer and got to enjoy it a lot more.
Beautiful moments, beautifully captured!!

So very adorable. Maybe they weren't afraid at all and just wanted a little action playhouse dining experience.
ReplyDeleteChickadees are the funniest birds. I LOVE to watch their antics.
ReplyDeleteWhat charming photos and birds! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe best gifts are those that can be used to bring joy. This gift has certainly done that, to you to the chickadees and now to all of us reading your blog. Thanks for sharing these fantastic photos.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea for a gift! And that chickadee is so adorable. They are so much fun to watch; their acrobatics are quite entertaining. Your photos are amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh, the poor little snowman!
ReplyDeleteHe is too cute! :D I wonder how he is put together? I'd love to have some. They would make great Christmas gifts.
