    In the first set up shots, (18 species of birds) I showed how I attach a few berries during the colder days of winter. As there are still a lot of berries about, I don't usually put any out yet. I have three grocery bags full of these small bunches in the freezer. This is a shot from last Jan/Feb. Its neat really as they get a bit of exercise too, he can get closer if it tries.

    Stretching exorcises for birds, aka, Kildale's gymnasium. Bribery will get you everything. Do you do nuts as well as berries? Great bird shots.

    Great exercise,..i imagine if this bird and its next generation were to keep stretching you would end up with birds similar to the variations on the Galapagos Islands.
