Feeding birds...

I have put a bowl of sugar and water outside my back door.  The birds are loving it in this cold weather.  I did see one fall in as it bent over the edge to get the water!!
Do you know what these little birds are called?

We have an amazing feeder at my house for putting sugar water in. It is made from wire, an old V bottle and a small vegemite jar, I will try and bring a photo to show the children. It hangs up in our tree and we have lots of birds visit like waxeyes, sparrows, chaffinch's and even tui.

We have had awesome fun with bird feeders too. We made them by covering pinecones with peanut butter then rolling them in birdseed. You can hang them from a tree but we put ours on the balcony so we could watch the birds outside our window. The waxeyes loved them - I counted 34 of them all trying to eat from two pinecones. It took no time at all until all the food was gone and Riley, Jackson and I had lots of fun watching.
