As soon as I wrote “Everybody loves a nut” for the title of this post, my mind automatically continued with, “and the whole world loves a weirdo!” Now, I had no idea who sang this silly little song, but clearly it was lodged in the “things I didn’t know I knew” recesses of my brain. And thanks to the wonders of Google, I can fill you in that the voice behind the lyrics was the legendary Johnny Cash.
Despite the silliness of the song, my backyard does seem to have an abundance of nut lovin’ birds. Here are several that stopped by the other day to check out the peanut stash in the dogwood tree.
I just realized I have been munching on cashews while typing this post, so I guess I can be included in the title too!
Backyard Bird Nerd 
such wonderful captures!
Thanks!
Going nuts at the Hole in the Tree.
I look so funny trying to fill it! I have a loooong plastic piece of piping that I use like a big straw to reach it. The things we will do for a picture!
🙂
And we are nuts about your nut-lovers too!
Me too!
As that commercial goes “sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.” I love cashews, bought some and couldn’t keep from working my way down in that can in short order!
Yes, only my birds never sing the second half of that jingle!
“Nut-thing” better than your bird photos! 😉 The Planters Peanut mobile was in front of our grocery store at the end of summer, I almost took a photo of it! 😊 Funny how memories come up sometimes, I agree! 🥜🐦
Ha – punny!
Very beautiful pictures of the birds!😊
Thanks!
Wonderful photos, as always! But aren’t cashews and peanuts beans actually? 😊
So – I have a backyard full of bean lovers!
Haha, probably yes 😁
Those are some beautiful nut lovers at your place.
Agreed!
