[Janet]

Congratulations Mandy on your new addition.

I have been afraid of birds since I was a very young girl. I wish I could get over it, but don't think I ever will. I'm even afraid of dead or fake birds, can you believe it? It doesn't matter what kind of bird, pets, chickens, ducks, you name it, I'm deathly afraid of them.

I do have feeders up for the yellow finches, we had 7 pair last summer, but they are outside and I'm inside. We also have feeders up for Hummingbirds. I never wanted my son to be afraid of them like I am, so we have had feeders up since he was small. I don't know for sure why I am afraid, but I don't like their eyes, beaks and feet the most. That sure sounded dumb...lol but I am just afraid of every bit of them.

Can I ask a question??? If they have free run of the house, does that mean they are trained to potty somewhere? Are there potty trained birds?
