I have a lot of hair -- I'm going to have to start paying more attention. I think it is wonderful that you used a suet container to store hair bits -- I'm definitely going to do that now. I even have one ready to go! I'm adding you to my blog list -- you are such a kindred spirit!Meredithhttp://www.greatstems.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517369101045652978.post-78983695569740372132010-05-07T06:29:10.290-05:002010-05-07T06:29:10.290-05:00Amber, absolutely yes.

The next-door-dogs must have been wondering why, when they came over on their daily treat-mooching rounds, I was suddenly locking them in on my gated porch and force-brushing them before I gave them snackies.Joy K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06200194467024962551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517369101045652978.post-24833410432824969032010-05-06T23:08:11.586-05:002010-05-06T23:08:11.586-05:00What a great way to spark your obsession with the ...What a great way to spark your obsession with the nature in your woods! I can just picture the scene from your description. <br /><br />I wonder if the masses of hair that some dogs and cats shed so abundantly could be collected and offered to birds as well?

Maybe he thought you were some docile type of animal, or a patch of yellow grass.

Once when the hummingbirds were so thick at the feeders during fall migration that they sounded like bees and seemed so thirsty that not a port on the feeder was empty, I put my finger up to the feeder and one exhausted little bird sat on it and stayed while it drank for a while. I can still feel those tiny feet. <br />You tell a great story! I'm glad I stopped by.<br />-KayKay Baughmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18043467782584362763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517369101045652978.post-25699592785882195912010-05-03T20:09:30.719-05:002010-05-03T20:09:30.719-05:00Rebecca, I keep trying to get the chickadees to ca...Rebecca, I keep trying to get the chickadees to calm down when I'm around, but they're still very skittish.

They're very bold, and several times I've experimenting with standing stock still, one hand extended with some seed on the palm, to see if I could convince one to perch on my hand.
