I love birds and butterflies .... don't you?

I think I will share some really neat ideas for making treats for birds and butterflies and other critters. My person saw some really interesting bugs when she was in the Amazon, luckily they are not here! Bet you don't believe me ,do you.... well... take a look !







I mean that is just a sample and I will tell you that the tarantula and whatever that other spider was/is was the very least of her favorites. She did however rescue a tarantula that fell from the ceiling onto the floor behind her. She said it kind of thudded when it hit. But , did you see the moth that looked like owl eyes! Pretty cool , right? But the best is the really amazing blue one. It's called a Blue Morpho and holy moly is it pretty.

Oh , here are a couple more pictures. A Giant moth and the small tarantula that fell from the ceiling. It looks sort of broken and my person said she didn't think it survived.




So you can attract butterflies to your yard and that would be a really good thing to do now and over the summer. Want to know how? It's super simple and your mum would love it if you got rid of the old nasty brown bananas!

Check this out!   Just hang an old nasty banana and the butterflies will come.


If attracting birds is what you like better , here is a cool Easter Egg recipe and then you can just hang the eggs in the trees for the birds......


Dissolve 2 packets of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup hot water, then stir in 2 1/2 cups birdseed. Generously spray the inside of 12 plastic eggs with cooking oil. Pack the mixture into the egg molds, snap them shut, and let them set overnight



Wait until you see how cute they look!!!













If you want to get more involved, here is a homemade suet recipe... but that is better for the winter. So, maybe wait until later for those.






Make sure no matter what you want to attract that you have plenty of water and change it often, especially when it gets hot. Yuck! Would you want to drink hot water? 








Having birds and butterflies in your yard is such a cool thing! you can get some really good pictures if you are quiet and practice.
