Richard Shilling was delighted to see this Northern Flicker by his bird bath in Richmond Beach Monday morning at 7:30am.
Many residents have what's needed to host birds. Usually the only thing missing is a reliable source of water for drinking and bathing.
The Shilling's bird bath is a garden feature - but you can have something as simple as a dish, as long as you can keep water in it.
Two crows took a bath in ours the other day. It was delightful to watch.
ReplyDeleteThese birds destroyed the siding on our house drilling into our attic. Generations of them came back and continued the damage over 20+ years. We finally had to re-side our home with cement board to stop them from their quest. I love birds, but sure am not fond of this species. Hope this homeowner doesn't have wood siding.......
