Some of Today's Visitors

Located in San Diego County, California (Spring Valley if you know it). This is the view when I work from home. 💖

I have 2 nuthatches that hang out on this tree, and yes I added their very own little tray.

DIY bird bath fountain - sealing pot hole?

I made a very nice stacked pot fountain that I am super pleased with a while back and the birds like it too. But I have a sloooooow leak where I plugged the hole in the pot. I forget what I used but I know the product did say water proof. The pot is also terracotta inside, outside is glazed.

Any tried and true products to share? I keep putting off redoing it.....and just keep refilling the water.

On hand I have JB water weld epoxy stick, and Loctite 100% silicone sealer (aquarium safe)

Had to take my feeders down

I know someone here will feel my sadness. I noticed 2-3 house finches at my feeders that just didn't look right. Turns out its Avian Trichomonosis (aka Fat Finch Disease). They looked really rough. Poofy, snotty noses/beaks, and throwing up food. I feel soooooo bad! One that they got sick at my feeders, and two that I have to have my feeders down for at least two weeks. The next day all the birds were frantically looking for seed.
