Gram'Pa Purple Finch out for his weekly visit. It is funny and also a bit sad...

By instinct we used to think that all birds migrate and that it's a normal process. Sadly not all of them are still able to. Like all of us they get old and sometimes gain weight. Those ones who are force to stay the entire winter with us take a chance and count roughly on their survival skills.

I built some shelters for those brave ones who are left behind and continue to feed them but unfortunately most of them die. This is one sadly part of a bird's life. Like all of us. There's nothing more to do except enjoying their presence while they are here.
