うちの庭には色んな鳥がやってきます。花の蜜を吸うハミングバードはとても可愛い。他の鳥も色がきれい。もっとたくさん見たいな〜〜と思って、鳥のえさ台を作って、玄米をおいてみました。２日目くらいに気がついたら玄米が完食されていました。それで、今度は普通のお米をまいてみました。なんと大きな鳥が。。。と思いきや。。。ウサギさんが台の上にのっかってお米を食べているじゃあありませんか。。。そういえば。。。玄米完食の台の上にウサギさんの大が落ちてたんだよねあの日。。。 ほんとは鳥さんに来てほしいのにな。。
We always have different birds visiting our garden. Humming birds are the cutest. Others are also colorful and pretty as well. I wanted to see more birds, so we made a bird feeder and put brown rice on it. After few days, I noticed all the brown rice was gone. So, I put regular white rice on it and waited. One morning, I saw a big bird on the feeder and I looked carefully to see what kind of bird it was..... it was a RABBIT kind!! The rabbit was on the feeder eating all the rice. Then I remembered that there was a dropping of a rabbit on an empty feeder. Ahh..... I want to attract BIRDS, not rabbits!!
Uncooked rice is bad for birds. I don't know if you cooked it or not. Try this: buy some bird seed ( most birds love black sunflower seeds), spread some peanut butter on some day-old bread and smoosh the bird seed into the peanut butter. Use a cookie cutter to cut the bread into cute shapes, poke a hole thru the bread and tie a piece of yarn through the hole. Hang your bird feeder outside from a tree or bush where you can watch the birdies. They'll love it and eat it all up.
