- Notice the little things, like the red feeding ports on a hummingbird feeder
- Spend time with your flock and enjoy good company
- Seize the moment (and grab that sunflower seed!)
- When something’s not right, fly away
- Make sure you eat enough protein to keep your energy up
- Eat fresh food in-season, as often as possible
- Seek shelter or travel to a warmer location when it’s too cold out
- Explore your local offerings (and grab a quick bath or a snack!)
- Sing your song, so others can hear you
