Cars, birds and cats

When we were still living in the city, then one of the attractions that helped to calm down Hanna was watching cars out of the window. We were living at very busy street, and large cross-road with traffic lights was visible from the window, so cars were almost always available. It worked really well on Hanna. When we were moving away, it was clear that we will have to come up with something new, as life in a village house cannot provide this entertainment. We had even a joke that Kaido will have to go out and drive our car back-and-forth while I will show this to Hanna :)
Fortunately, it turns out that country life has its own attractions. Now it's even better, as we have large window reaching to floor, and I do not have to lift Hanna to show the view. Instead of cars, now there are cats and birds that pass or fly by. I didn't know that so many different cats are visiting our garden, but I'm only happy for that because Hanna likes to watch them, and we don't need to have our own cat (it's already enough with Hanna :) ). The same goes for birds - there are plenty of them, and Hanna really enjoys watching them.
To increase the attraction, I put out a bird feeder after the big snow fall. It turned out really popular, at least the same amount of birds was sitting around in trees:
I even discovered that a small ornithologist woke up in me, and I had to find out what kind of birds visited our feeder (well, some I knew, but not all; besides, it was a good language exercise as naturally I know birds in my native Latvian, so it was interesting to find out their names in Estonian and English):
- bullfinch / sarkankrūtītis / leevike
- greenfinch / zaļžubīte / rohevint
- great tit / lielā zīlīte / rasvatihane
- hawfinch / dižknābis / suurnokk-vint
- house sparrow / mājas zvirbulis / kodu varblane
- tree sparrow / lauku zvirbulis / põldvarblane

Do you know the difference between a house sparrow and a tree sparrow? I also thought that there is just a "sparrow", but with Google you can find out more if you just wish. Now I'm waiting to see a blue tit / zilzīlīte / sinitihane to arrive at our feeder, so this attraction is not just for Hanna :)
After all, we do not need that many cars here, and Kaido can stay at home instead of driving back-and forth.
