Normally, our backyard is full of birds. We have a suet feeder where mockingbirds, robbins, brown thrashers, and small birds such as sparrows and wrens love to dine and carry food away to their nests. Cardinals, bluebirds, and goldfinches explore our shrubs and plants looking for a snack. Hummingbirds usually fight for a position on our feeder.
We love when the birds bring their babies out and feed them in our yard and do their best to teach them how to feed themselves. We spend hours watching the birds.
This year, a pair of robbins eat from the feeder. One mockingbird came and a robbin chased it away. Nothing else. We had two hummingbirds come a month ago and nothing since.
This is our eighth year here and the first year without a lot of birds.
Is it because of the bird virus? Maybe other homes have a better menu for their feeders?
We don’t know but hopefully, we will be back to normal next year.
