Tag: backyard bird foraging

a bluebird used the toy too but it was so brief im not gonna bother posting it. putting out a more complicated toy tomorrow, wish them luck!

the camera has kind of a slow reaction apparently, like it starts filming a few second after detecting motion – when the birds have usually left. that being said I still caught them using the foraging toy!

just put up the camera & foraging toy! the first one is very easy – i have no doubt they’ll use it. it’s a wooden block with holes and grooves to remove treats from – something that some of my backyard birds like nuthatches already have mastered by removing insects from bark. i just kinda want to introduce the toys slowly, give them practice, and make them feel successful so they aren’t immediately discouraged if they can’t figure out a complex toy on the first try. they seem a little wary about it so it may take a few days to post results!
