A week ago the kids and I went out and bought a bird feeder...partly for school (Science) and partly to see the amazing tropical birds that find their home here in Hawaii. Well apparently native Hawaiian birds aren't big seed eaters...probably because they have all the food they could ever want year round...berries, fruits and plenty of bugs. So all we have attracted to our feeder is this beautiful Cardinal and his mate...which I'm pretty sure aren't native to the islands. But we have enjoyed watching them come and enjoy their meal. Ethan has enjoyed learning a few bird names as well. The common birds that we see the most have been the Dove, the Myna bird, the Egret and the Cardinal which funny enough aren't tropical birds. So if you think we're surrounded by colorful tropical birds all the time...I'm sure they're out there but they're definitely not attracted to bird seed.
