We put out our first feeder this winter. They kids went crazy, like you said, but the birds pooped all over my deck.

I mean, fend for yourself little effers. <br /><br />@BLW - Thank you! It was really easy and cheap. I don't know why my dearest one couldn't figure out "wrap it around the plate!" ... but once it clicked for him, it was smooth sailing.<br /><br />@CaneWife - I will put out a hummingbird feeder later in the spring just so the kids can marvel at the hummingbirds, but they're nasty, too. We do have squirrels, but we never get them on the deck. They attack our front yard feeder on a daily basis.<br /><br />@DQ - Yes! We get seagulls around here too despite being 100 miles from the ocean. They will literally dive bomb you if you spend too much time out in the open w/ food in your hand.
