A Copper's & Coal's Tail

Jan. 5th, 2018

Copper and Coal learn something new about the mysterious backyard and why myself and dad go out there all the time. While they have manage to sneak out, they know it's cold and wet (for right now) but the kitchen window plays wonderful bird TV!!

Copper's Tail . . . Meeting Petrie!

Earlier this week Copper happen to be in the kitchen looking at me then looking at our window, I knew I kept seeing something big fly towards the window. But I assume it was the crows doing their dances and whatsnot, but Copper was so curious that he jumped on the kitchen counter to the sink and saw a great big giant bird!!! 

Copper met Petrie! Our Pileated woodpecker Petrie loves to eat Suet closest to the house, it kind of provides some shelter from the winds. He just flew in to do his normal thing, but little did he know that he had an audience! Copper was so entertains by Petrie's large size. 

It was the most adorable thing to watch, while Copper was trying to figure out how to get closer to Petrie. So Petrie had visited! 

Coal's Tail . . . When Turkeys Fly

While it's no secrets that we get turkeys, both Copper and Coal have seen the big turkeys in our backyard. One day I had to help dad out with putting food out, while the Turkeys were here.  The Turkeys aren't a fan of two people being outside at the same time.

Coal was up on the kitchen counter, looking out the window to our backyard and saw the turkeys initially but he probably never expected to see them fly!

Coal's eyes were probably wide with curiosity as the turkeys flew!

Coal's tail is a little shorter than Copper only because I wasn't personally inside the house like I was when Petrie came flying in. But Coal loves to watch the birds on the porch and watch the pair go into the birdhouse we have attach to the porch in an upside down position.
