King of the mountain and other quail games

I brought the Bird Buddy AI feeder inside until after Christmas. I found it on the ground one morning after our GIla Woodpeckers were hanging on it upside down and got it to slide with their weight. It’s strapped on the fence with a velcro strap that came with it, but it’s not secure — obviously!

We decided to cement a pole into the ground and do away with the velcro sliding strap. That was the project for last weekend, but I got sick. I think we’ll wait until after Christmas when we return home after spending a few days with family.

In the meantime, I bought some “critter crunch” bird seed and tossed a scoop on the ground. The quail went nuts!

I didn’t get any birds in the yard except for quail!

You can visit my Instagram @e.a.wickham to view quail dancing to Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.” I didn’t know how to add music to the video on WordPress or I would have.

I’m not decorating for Christmas this year, so I’m looking to wildlife to make it festive!

Does anyone know how to add music to photos or videos on WordPress? If so, can you share?

If you have an Instagram account, would you share it in the comments so I can follow you?

  1. Sorry no idea on adding to WP as I have the still free account and cannot even put a video on my site. Also no IG- I tossed that awhile back. Your quail act like all the chickadees at my feeders. They prefer ground feeding versus sitting at the feeder. They let the finches and sparrows do the work of tossing seed down to them. Smart birds!
