I’m Billy, and I thought you might like to hear a bit about my life at Cerwin and Doris’ feeders.
It can be difficult to find good food in wintertime – especially when everything is frozen or snow-covered.
I love when Doris keeps this suet feeder full, and this last batch is especially delicious.
I understand they got it at a birdseed store in Maine.
Oh, sorry. Mom told me not to talk when I am eating.
Oh, bummer. I shouldn’t have left the suet feeder!
Now Mrs. Woodpecker got my spot.
I guess I’ll settle for eating seeds on the ground.
Yes, I’m upset!
If you don’t put that stupid camera away, I’ll turn the other way.
Just let me calm down a bit.
Okay. I’m better now, and look, the suet feeder is empty again.
This is disturbing! Now Mr. Woodpecker is here.
Maybe we can share.
Hey, it’s working pretty good.
Why didn’t we think of this before.
I think God is pleased when we are kind to each other.
Oh, Billy, what a lovely story! I’m glad you were able to share the suet feeder with the Woodpeckers — and especially happy that you allowed Doris to take such beautiful photos of your gorgeous feathers!
Glad that you enjoyed Billy’s story. 🙂
Our jays, California Blue Jays, are quite friendly — I have a friend who sits in her back yard with some peanuts, calls “Jay,” and Jay arrives to feed on the peanuts! Jay will actually come even if there are no nuts on the table. But our jays don’t have such beautiful tail feathers! All you need is a camera at your side!
Our blue jays are fairly easy to photograph, but now friendly enough to come when I call them.
Billy, you need to tell your cousins back here in Missouri about good manners at the feeder and how you share. They must have been absent when those lessons were being taught. And I must say that I’m surprised such a handsome fellow as your would mind your photograph being taken; I guess you’re as modest as you are mannered. 🙂 Best wishes as you get through the rest of this challenging winter!

cute! You should start writing little books!
I think my books would have to be about birds. 🙂
Our blue jays have names too. I see Billy is very similar to a few of our boys, especially one I call Chunky. Great story
Thanks. It happened because I had so many blue jay pictures. They just seemed to tell a story.
too cute, Doris ~ 🙂
Thanks!
Also enjoyed your story!
Thanks! 🙂
