Bird Humor # 4

Daffy Duck
One thing about ducks, children go crazy for them! The sight of duck rushing in to see what bread crumbs they can get excites children. By the way, ducks never get tired of eating no matter how much bread you give them!
But it’s fun to get a pet satisfied eating what you give them. I guess that’s what happens to me when I’m out under the hot summer sun, refilling seeds to feeders and improvising bird baths for my avian friends. Maybe that’s the inner kid in me, who knows? I might have to consult with a quack…err I mean a duck… no, I meant to say a Doc! 🙂

It’s Not Easy for Birds
Now that we are going through very hot days charged with humid air most likely thrown by the hurricane moving north of Florida panhandle and moving a bit into Georgia south.
For us it means hot weather but very humid. I go out and in matter of minutes I’m sweating copiously. It’s very uncomfortable to be outdoors. We have the AC running full blast and I even have the ceiling fans blowing to help circulate the air.
I feel bad for birds and this heat, they are not exposing themselves to open sun because they dehydrate too quickly. Most are in the shade, keeping their energy for later when the sun cast long shadows.
