Evie would love it, that is for sure. I will check it out some more. We found a window bird feeder, which would also be quite fun for Evie. Thanks for the suggestion :).<br /><br />April - I have been amazed at how many animals we have had this year! We live in a subdivision, but I think living so close to the water helps. I would love to get pet ducks, but there is no way Jeff would let me :). I love seeing all the pictures of your birds that you are getting! When you start getting more animals, it really will be like wild kingdom for you :). The death part is really hard. I guess it is good that we have a hard time with it. It shows that we have a soft spot for God's creation. <br /><br />Can't wait to see your garden pictures! <br /><br />SchnauzerMom - Thank you. Evie is doing better now. It is hard losing something you get attached to. And yes, we are BUSY :)!<br /><br />Kelly - All of this activity really has made for a lot of homeschool topics. We had been following a specific curriculum, and I am ditching in next year so we can study science stuff that Evie likes, like birds, bugs, etc.! I hope you have a wonderful summer too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676934511271640399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-44906309158594098632011-06-23T15:58:06.654-07:002011-06-23T15:58:06.654-07:00Sorry about Birdie, that had to be tough on Evie. ...Sorry about Birdie, that had to be tough on Evie.

Lol... The ducks really are cute (and I still want to get a couple... maybe next year). The chipmunks are super cute too but I'm glad you were able to move them to a better place. The must've really multiplied, huh? So sad that Evie had to see Birdie die though. I hope she is better today; death is so hard to explain. I'm 60 and <i>still</i> have a hard time with it, even though I understand it. The oriole is beautiful! I don't think we have them around here.<br /><br />You sound super busy too Jen. I hope your garden it going well. Mine is finally planted and I hope to get pictures the next day or two - and will post them.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426302151686598975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-4392471192376771702011-06-17T13:45:56.770-07:002011-06-17T13:45:56.770-07:00I tried to find a picture of what our local store ...I tried to find a picture of what our local store sells on Amazon, but none of the products are the same. One looked very flimsy and got terrible reviews. This is closer to what the store here sells, but still not exactly.<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Handcrafted-Unfinished-Garden-Window-Observatory/dp/B003X04AEQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1308342908&sr=8-6<br /><br />I cannot find any pictures of those screens, either. If you ever did want to do this, I think your best bet would be to go to a local wild bird store, if possible. <br /><br />Okay, that is all!winterwrennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307948690637632633.post-48183260047674810892011-06-17T13:32:00.404-07:002011-06-17T13:32:00.404-07:00Hey, Jen,

That is so heartbreaking. <br /><br />At our local wild bird store they have these really cool nesting boxes that have clear plexiglass backs and suction cups. You hang them from your window. Then you hang a one way screen on the inside of the window, so you can see the birds but they cannot see you. I have always wanted one, but we have so little space where we rent and my cats look out all our windows (the bird people said that cats would disturb the momma bird by hitting the glass.) That might be fun for Evie, though, if you have a window you can pet-proof.winterwrennoreply@blogger.com
