I’m happy to say that I have picked up a few traditions/habits from my Dad who passed away 3 years ago. He always made sure we had a good Christmas; he always made sure to feed the wild birds in the wintertime and pre-warms his coffee mug before pouring coffee in it…. A bit quirky, but I like it. How about you?

My other question is: Why are there so many dang birds being given during the 12 Days of Christmas? I mean, swans, geese, calling birds, French hens, turtle doves, a partridge…Give me a break! Who wants to feed all those birds? Isn’t the chance of catching bird flu a little greater, with all those birds hanging around?
As for the maids a-milking, wouldn’t you have to give the cows to go along with that, so that the maids a-milking have something to milk? Or is it the maids themselves who are lactating?
What about the lords a-leaping? What are they leaping to, their deaths?
Drummers drumming and pipers piping–kinda loud, isn’t it? And wouldn’t you need a big house to keep all those drummers, pipers, dancing ladies and milking maids? Would they all need their own bedrooms? And what about bathroom time? I didn’t include the lords a-leaping in this, because they all lept to their deaths.
So, anyway, if I HAVE to give a partridge in a pear tree, is Danny Bonduce available?

I’m buying my first bird this Christmas (a budgie), so I have plenty of time to prepare. However, I’m a little confused. Should I purchase one or a pair? My new budgie book says just one is an “incomplete bird” and needs a friend to thrive. Is this true, or will they just ignore me? Will I still be able to tame them both? Also, will a male and female still breed if I don’t give them a nest box? I’m so confused!!
i have two birds i brought them this basket and some strings i don’t know how their called but in the box it says nesting strings, but yeah anyways that been there for about a week and my bird don’t wanna build a nest. is their like a season of year when they do this. or how do i make them lay an egg. thanks. and yeah help because i batted $20 that the bird will lay an egg before Christmas!
Keeping with the spirit of the season, Allen Smith says don’t forget about feeding our fine-feathered friends. Here are some ideas for attracting and feeding birds.
