The hunter and the hunted

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

00031543

Our yard seems to be a haven for animals. We have all types of birds – including the dreaded pigeons, squirrels, the occasional raccoon, and then there’s the stray and or wandering cats that travel through our backyard pretty much every evening.

I didn’t take this photo, but I certainly could have. You see, we have a similar type of wooden birdhouse attached to the electric pole in the corner of our backyard. Well, the pole is actually in the very corner of our neighbors yard, but it’s our bird house on the pole.

I’ve seen squirrels site just the way this cat is sitting on the bird house. As if they were waiting and watching for something to happen down below. I’ve also see a cat, just once, perched just like this on our bird house. I’m certain the cat was waiting for a bird to either come out or visit the birdhouse.

Birds aren’t all that stupid though. I think it would have to be a pretty stunned one to visit a bird house with a big predator sitting on top of it!

Drinking is for the birds

This weeks Theme is Drink

Anyone that’s been reading this site for a while knows that I enjoy having birds in our backyard garden.

We have three feeders in our tiny yard. We have to fill them up almost daily since there are so many birds eating from the feeders. I think we must be the only people around for blocks that feed the birds the way they go through the seed we put out for them.

In the five years that we’ve been at the house I’ve only seen a humming bird twice. We have two hummingbird feeders, that I clean and fill regularly in the hopes of enticing the tiny creatures to have a drink.

Here’s a photo of our nicest hummingbird feeder:

And here’s another view of the same feeder:

Have a great weekend and Happy St. Patrick’s day. Don’t drink too much now.

Funny animal videos and pictures

by Tricia

If you read this site, or any of the other sites that my husband and I write then you probably already know how much we both enjoy funny pet pictures, and funny animal videos. Well, I must tell you, I was very happy when I visited PetHumor.com just now.

The site is full of funny animal videos and pictures, pet jokes and it even has a funny top 10 list of pet cartoons. The site is updated daily with new items sent in by pet owners and pet lovers.

You can probably guess that I’ve already bookmarked the site, and I’ve also subscribed to their RSS feed so that I can know each day when the sites been updated with new humorous material.

If you enjoy funny animal pictures and videos be sure to visit PetHumor.com.
