Bird Watching: Attracting Monk Parrots, 1 by mrw31

Lots of birds in our area that are not monk parrots -- predominently morning doves, sparrows, finches, cardinals, grackles, mocking birds. I used to have two huge trees in my backyard -- a live oak and a pecan - but unfortunately Hurricane Katrina took out both of them. What I tried to do is to make a few bird houses and put them up to make up for the lack of trees. Here is my favorite picture of one of those -- you can see I'm not a great carpenter. This picture looks like the mother sparrow was ushering her offspring out of the birdhouse in a hurry. Probably reacting to me taking her picture.
