The company of birds here in the USA is a big pastime and many house owners have put up bird houses for birds, where they come to eat and give company to the people around. As I have told you a Dove recently moved to the tree opposite my house and I enjoy her company when she sings and makes many trips to the grounds to pick up weeds for her nest on that tree. Soon, I hope, she will have her children. In winter I did not see any bird here as its very cold here and probably the birds can not stand the weather and heavy snow. We had heavy snow this year too.
