We took the tree down after New Years, but we re-erected it in the yard by the bird feeders. I found some recipes online for bird food - variations of suet, peanut butter, and bird seed mixed together. Also some orange and apple slices dried in the oven and a few Apricot Balls that were past their prime. We bedecked the tree with those. Son of didn't think the birds would eat any of it, but we did it anyway. I think he was mostly right, but the birds love it anyway as a place to wait for their turn on the feeders.
And I still have some 'snowflakes' hanging at the window. They need to come down, but they are so pretty.

I love the idea of putting the tree out for the birds! Around here, there was just a weekend when suddenly all the garbage cans had a tree next to them.
I suppose they made good temporary shelter for the bunnies.
I see you have as much snow as us. I can't believe I am jonesing for winter!
I'm going to do this next year.... great idea, and easy to follow up on!
