Thursday Two Questions Meme - Bird w/Cage or Bird Feeder?
Photo taken at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens
While growing up I always had birds as pets. I also had rabbits and hamsters. I've always loved birds and still do. I currently live in a studio apartment where pets are not allowed. I've lived here for three decades or so and never had a pet. Lately, I have been longing to have a bird.My first choice would be a canary with a parakeet coming in at a close second. I thought if I bought or adopted one and my landlord found out I could always negotiate something with him, after all I have been here longer than anyone else on the property, including him.
Also, over the past few weeks, there has been a bird who is frequenting the back yard each morning around 7:00 a.m. I wake up to his chirping everyday and just love hearing him. Each time that I go out to see and get a photo of him, he flies away. I also at times find hummingbirds out here. So, I was thinking maybe I should just forgo the canary or parakeet and get a bird feeder for the yard. However, in this area we have alot of pigeons, crows and even hawks. Because of that I hesitate on the bird feeder. I really don't want crows and hawks hanging out at my door.
My two questions this week are:
1. Which option would you think is best?
2. Why?
You will really be helping me out here. Thanks :)

I guess the reason would be of the variety of birds you could attract to your feeder. We also have a lot of crows and hawks around here but they don't really go near my feeder. I've only spotted one hawk in my yard, it sat in a tree for a while then flew away.
Maybe you should try the feeder and if you don't get favorable results then go with the canary
I have a little fountain, and the pigeons does come around. Given that you live in the city, it is probably very likely that they are less afraid too.
Anyhow, I would love if you could have both, just for the love of life. :-0
Aloha!
You will get surprises one after another seeing different birds visiting you.
