I got the idea to have craft time and make bird feeders for the little thieves. I didn't have any ice cream cones or pine cones, so we just used bread. The kids liked eating the PB more than doing the project.

For the Birds
This morning Maria and I were watching the chickens from the back door window (one of her favorite things to do) and I noticed all these blackbirds were stealing the chicken's food! They had gotten into the pen and were eating to their heart's content. I don't have a problem feeding the birds, but I don't really want them eating my chicken's food! Tim loves his chickens: here's proof!
They love to be petted, but this one got a little freaked out when it was time to go back in the pen.

We made the bread in a heart shape for V-day...very cute, huh?
The finished product:
I tried making a hole in the bread to run a ribbon through, but the bread was too fresh, so it pulled right out from the weight of the PB and birdseed. I think I'll let them set out for a while until they get a little stale and then try to hang them. Hopefully the loose seed I threw out the back door will tide the thieves over until these are ready and they leave our chickens alone!
