We love cardinals, December's Bird of the Month! That lovely pop of red we get to see all winter long is such a delight. Cardinals are show stoppers, but it’s generally the males that are such vibrant red. Male cardinals are famous for their bright red feathers, which make them easy to spot against the green foliage or winter snow. Females, while not as vividly colored, are equally beautiful with their soft brown feathers and hints of red on the wings and crest.

To wrap up our November bird of the month, here is our last Nuthatch fact of the week:

Nuthatches are both social AND territorial Birds! Depending on the season, Nuthatches can be friendly with other species, or quite territorial. Generally, Nuthatches are social creatures, often seen foraging in mixed-species flocks during the non-breeding season. These flocks can include chickadees, woodpeckers, and kinglets, providing safety in numbers from predators.

But when breeding season rolls around, nuthatches can be quite territorial. They will vigorously defend their nesting sites from intruders. Nuthatches often nest in tree cavities, either natural or those abandoned by woodpeckers.

Happy Thanksgiving! At Rochester Pet and Country Store, we are truly grateful for you, our valued customers! While we will be closed on Thanksgiving, we will reopen on Black Friday with gift bags and fantastic deals.

Thanksgiving is a time to express gratitude for our loved ones, including our furry friends. What better way to celebrate than through food? While it’s generally not advisable to share your entire Thanksgiving feast with pets, some items can be shared safely with a little planning.

Dogs can enjoy small amounts of plain, boneless, and skinless turkey, as well as plain, unseasoned mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, carrots, and apples (without seeds or cores). Pumpkin puree is also a nutritious option for dogs, but steer clear of spiced pumpkin pie filling.

Nuthatch fact of the week:

Nuthatches are famous for their ability to walk headfirst down tree trunks, a skill that sets them apart from most other birds. This unique behavior allows them to access insects and larvae hidden in the bark that other birds might miss.
