Snoozing in the sun...at -30C ... - a photo on Flickriver

            When it gets really cold they cling to the side of the house just outside the kitchen window... it is the south facing wall and the sun is on it for hours of the day.

I'm sure they love it, but, when they also peck on the house trying to find insects or whatever...I have to scold them and they do fly off.  

They have such strong beaks that they are damaging the faux rock ... and, last year they made a hole in the soffits.  Mister BV is not a happy camper when he hears any pecking......  he is ready to hide the nuts and seeds and discourage their visits.
