FLOWERS & FOLIAGE ARE FOR THE BIRDS! (Wednesday's Wisdom)

HOUSE FINCHES ARE  FEATURED IN "WORDS IN OUR BEAK"

EMILY'S STORY IS IN VOLUME THREE

It is rather common knowledge that "birders who hope to see hummingbirds often plant nectar-bearing flowers to attract them, but hummers aren't the only birds attracted to flowers."

This truism (or wisdom) is certainly evidenced by the photos directly above (taken in my garden a few years ago) where a male house finch seems to be enamored by my blooming Crabapple Tree while a female Baltimore Oriole is spending her time in the midst of my roses.

Birds also like to be among foliage as seen in the pictures below (also taken in my garden) where a mourning dove and a blue jay are of the leaves from my kiwi vines.

MOURNING DOVES ARE FEATURED IN MY BOOKS

BLUE JAYS ARE FEATURED IN MY BOOKS

I coined the term "flora-ing" to describe the action of birds enjoying flowers and foliage.
