Operation backyard beautification part 1: squirrels, birds, & butterflies 🦋 🐿️🐝🦜

#floridawildlife #backyard #floridabirds

Today we are getting started on bringing beauty to our very plain (and fairly small) Florida backyard. My hope is to attract squirrels, birds, butterflies, and bees. This project is for our own enjoyment, and also for a major learning opportunity as we spend time observing our wild neighbors and their ecosystems. What kinds of friends visit your backyard? Let us know in the comments!

hello everyone and welcome to my channel! My name is Amanda and I am a first time mom! My family and I live in sunny Florida ☀️ Here on my channel you will find videos related to cooking, coffee, baking, motherhood, DIY, the Orlando area theme parks, and whatever else I can come up with! 🤍 I hope you will find some sense of connection here, or at the very least a bit of entertainment! Thank you for stopping by!

My friend had a picnic table squirrel feeder and she always snaps the pictures of them eating on it. It's the cutest thing omg 🥰🥰🥰🥰

A butterfly garden would be so cool! Can’t wait to see the progress- looks great so far!😊❤

Blue jays and Cardinals love peanuts too! make sure you get unsalted! Also butterflies will love the fruit.
I can't wait to see more!

Millie is very invested in the squirrel picnic table!! I feel like it takes birds a bit of time to learn where the seeds are :)

Can't wait for the herb garden. I'm not being dramatic when I say that my garden has been life changing!

Good morning ✨💕 this was so peaceful. I was having a rough morning with the kids and I just took 15 min to myself and sat and watched this upload. I’m not into nature but to see those squirrels eat that corn and your beautiful backyard 🥹 made me happy. And of course seeing MAGGIE 🥰❤️
- thanks for sharing girly 💕

Hey Amanda! What a lovely beautiful vlog. Love love love this!! I love bird watching. ❤

[BibiLilibeth]

I want a butterfly 🦋 garden 🥰 I want to make a plan for one this spring. 🙌🏽

[BibiLilibeth]

Loving your container garden 😍 ❤️ I feel like you are playing cozy home but in real life trying to attract all the cute little animals in the back yard. We have a bird feeder and attract lots of cardinals and Bluejays. We used to have a hummingbird feeder and got a few that would come but I need to replace rhe hummingbird feeder since ours broke. I love backyard watching with my family it's so cute to see all the little animals we get.

The details even Maggie have a flower short on… is Maggie hair getting longer ? I see the low ponytail 😂. I don’t know anything about flowers, birds, but I’ll be enjoying watching the process and seeing all the feeders

[allybharris]

ok not a huge fan of squirrels and terrified of birds, but I like what you're doing!!! hahaha the picnic table is very cute. this video made me excited for spring :)
we have a lot of red cardinals that hang at our house, we have a holly tree in our front yard and they love the berries that grow on it.

4:08 this is perfect and the music too. This reminds me of the book “a perfect day” by lane smith the boys love it. 6:15 the pen behind the ear… this is getting serious

Your backyard is beautiful ❤ I want to get some bird feeders but we have a crazy amount of squirrels. It’s nice of you to feed them. I hate them!!! 😂
