I buy birdseed, suet, etc. (actually squirrel food, though it's called "bird food") at Wild Birds Unlimited. With my last purchase, they gave me a little bag of birdseed saying that it's a tradition in some countries to sprinkle birdseed on your doorstep on Christmas Day for good luck.
I did not get birds, but I did get squirrels! THREE fat minions of Lord Nutsy feasted on the "bird" seed, which I hope translates into good luck anyway.
The kitty boys were ENTHRALLED. So very enthralled that they ignored my twisting the lid off a jar of chicken treats - normally that brings them running! They were so fixated on the Up Close And Personal view of the bushytails right under their noses on the other side of the sliding glass door. Neville was quivering in excitement, and Jack wanted to leap right through the glass door! I think I might have to put some walnuts on my doorstep tomorrow, to give the kitty boys some more fun!
