They know our dogs won't chase them, so they come right up to the kennel fence and sniff our dogs.

We have many birds large & small. From Anna's hummingbirds to Bald Eagles, Osprey & Ravens. We bring in our feeders to warm up at night, and the Hummers scold us as we put them out in the morning. But they really appreciate the warm sugar water when it's so cold.
