I know that everyone’s thinking about birds today. That bird would be your Thanksgiving turkey! I’m not talking about eating birds but birds eating!
Now I’m sitting here watching it snow and can’t help but think about those feathered friends outside. Soon it will be harder for them to find food.
You can share your Thanksgiving spirit and dinner with them. Here are some quick ideas!

  • Orange peels and wedges are great bird treats. Hang or place where birds can access them.
  • Peanuts and are also a good idea to put out for birds.

    Currently I’m a cook at a college in Pennsylvania. We prepare everything we can from scratch, including our potato chips that tout the seasoning of the day!
    Of course I write about food; it's in my blood!
