They are the only animals that can fly through the air without the help of any machines. St. Francis of Assisi especially loved the birds.
Birds are also very fun to watch.
If you like to watch the birds in your neighborhood, you can attract them to your home with food. A fun and easy way to feed birds is to make a pinecone bird feeder. If you don't have any pinecones, you can use a dried gourd or squash. Simply smear peanut butter around the pinecone. Spread it nice and thick.
