MAKE A NEST HELPER

It's that time again to help the birds build their nests!


We gathered our supplies:

-horse hair from grooming the horses, 


-feathers on the ground from the ducks and hens




-mane from the horses


-angora from plucking the rabbits


-yarn that we cut into two inch lengths


-large wire suet feeder


We counted, measured, and recorded our ingredients. At a later date, we can see what has been used by the birds.


Next we layered them in the wire feeder . . . 
                      packing them loosely . . . 


and hung it outside, on a branch, for the birds.
We make these every year. See what we made last year here.
                   
                 happy day! happy nesting!
