To celebrate Valentine’s Day, I thought it’d be fun to share that birds and animals love Liam MacGruder. When I first placed Liam outside, I was surprised at how the birds and animals enjoyed visiting him.
When birds fly in, they enjoy sitting with Liam, and I often hear them chirping to him.
The woodpeckers love visiting Liam, and during the spring as their chicks learn to fly, they introduce them to Liam.
I was surprised at how often Ravens stop by to see Liam. Grackles and Starlings enjoy spending time with Liam as well.
The hawks seem curious about Liam and will sit and watch him for a while before flying away.
Another surprise was when a butterfly flew in and stayed with Liam a for quite a while. In addition to Bluebirds and Carolina Wrens, at night I’ve seen raccoons and a possum visit Liam. Plus, a myriad of different birds spend time with Liam throughout the year. Though I love Liam MacGruder, it seems birds and animals love him as well. Take care and wishing you the best!

~Hi Mary, so nice to see you. Oh wow, how neat that you have a wild turkey that comes to your yard. I bought Liam MacGruder at a garden center that had cement statues. Fingers crossed that you find a ‘Liam’ of your own to place in your yard; I think you’d have fun watching what wildlife visits. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Congratulations. Thank you Diana Cosby for hosting.
Comment
Diana it’s so nice to meet you, and see just how popular little Liam is! I’m thinking I must have included some of my spirit into him when I created him, because it’s crazy but animals come to me like this too! BTW, Liam was created/born on 3/25/2011, and he has 52 other siblings. Some are his size and others are larger. I’ll show you a pic back on the wildlife site. Don’t see how I could send it here.
Thank you for your service! My husband is retired Marine Corps veteran.
Enjoy your Liam!!
Sincerely,
Debbie Alcott-Winstanley

Yes, Liam has 52 siblings! You can see them all at http://www.massarelli.com

~♥ ^5 Hi Debbie, a sincere pleasure to ‘meet’ the creator of Liam! Sounds like indeed Liam has indeed inherited how animals are attracted to you, so neat!

~Wow, 52 other siblings. Sounds like I need a trip to see them.
Thank you for your service! My husband is retired Marine Corps veteran.
~Thank you so much, and my sincere thanks to you and your husband for his service. As you know, when one family member joins the military, the family ‘serves.’
Enjoy your Liam!! Sincerely,
~Thank you, Liam MacGruder is a constant joy and has brought so many smiles to so many people. Take care, and I wish you the very best!
