The Volunteer Sunflowers from Birdseed - Nature 170

In some seasons, especially from Spring to Fall, we have volunteer sunflowers and (wild) flowers in our backyard.

As we might know, there are certain critters that plant wildflowers include sunflowers from birdseed on the backyards. 

We observed some wild animals that responsible to do "this business." Just three of them are:
- squirrels
- birds
- and raccoons

In addition to 3 of animals, wind and rain might play important roles as well.

  12. Distintos animalitos recorren el jardín o pradera del entorno hogareño y hacen que la naturaleza conviva animadamente y se recree y haga vivaz el entorno y reluciente y hermoso con los girasoles...Un saludo

  14. how cute to have these critters come into your yard. I have thought I should plant sunflowers, but here in Australia I would get parrots and cockatoos - they love my fruit trees....

  17. i use only sunflower seeds to feed my birds, no filler, and i never get volunteer sunflowers....i always thought i would. perhaps they are "neat" eaters and no seed is lost from them. hehe i enjoyed your images today and i LOVE sunflowers!!
