Fascinating. They're rather pretty, in a quiet reserved way, I think. I really want us to get a birdfeeder soon, and maybe, given the paucity of big trees about, a bird house.
Bird feeders can be fun, especially with kids. You can even make your own feeders and have them help. One of the really simple ways to make feeders is to take pine cones, tie strings to them then smear them with peanut butter (preferably the natural, just peanuts kind) and roll them in bird seeds. Hang those and hopefully the birds will come.
I remember making birdfeeders that way as a child at my grandparents. I haven't seen any pinecones around here yet, I don't think there are many pines around.
