My biggest birds in the garden currently are scrub jays which are super cheeky and very vocal, digging up the soil to bury the peanuts I put out for them. Nevertheless, I love them. I also love the more cheeky crows who sometimes come in to snack on the peanut suet block.<br />How lucky you are to have those sunflowers. My attempts of growing sunflowers were always finished by either the birds or the squirrels. I saw a squirrel taking off with a huge sunflower bloom in its mouth, dragging it across the "lawn". Cheeky monsters, but still beloved by me.Carola Bartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536486322412234854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-62824839610301985752019-01-06T02:19:15.674+11:002019-01-06T02:19:15.674+11:00Eight foot tall lilies?

I think it's safe to say they know you'll do them no harm. (They're, um... in good hands!)<br /><br />Your birds and flowers are gorgeous.
