I delight in feeding the wild birds. The chickens delight in searching for fallen seeds on the ground under the feeders.
This week I put my beautiful bird bath up for the season, and filled it with clean water. I turned the water spigot off and looked back to admire my handiwork. Two smart chickens had already figured out that if they hopped up on the bird bath they could dine at The Sunflower Buffet.
You have to admire the fact that two birds not known for keen intellect had assessed a novel situation and taken advantage of a new opportunity within mere moments of it being presented. And they were richly rewarded by a smorgasboard of seed.
I learn a lot by watching my chickens.
