The 2nd guarantees the 1st |
We are in the 34th day of no rain whatsoever here. Everything is dry as a bone. I have a birdbath that I am trying to keep filled as the birds are flocking to it all day long. It is nothing to have 7 or 8 sitting on the side of it waiting to get a drink. It's a good sized one and I have to refill it every day since they empty it so fast. If you have one and it's as dry there as it is here keep those birds and other animals in mind. The tree rats are also using it constantly too. "Even if the world were perfect it wouldn't be." ...

I have one of those four pronged feeders that we keep filled all year long with different types of bird seed and suet. My wife loves to sit in her recliner and watch them feed. "Even if the world were perfect it wouldn't be." ... Yogi Berra | |||

I keep a 2-gallon bird/fountain of water going year-round for the birds. In the winter I add a fountain heater so it does not freeze. This is probably why we get a number of birds that reside around our house. It is not fun to clean in the middle of winter though. | |||

I put out a large stainless steel dog dish on my patio. Everybody drinks! Birds, Chipmunks, Red and Gray Squirrels and Rabbits. It serves as TV for my cat! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

We have a feeder right next to our birdbath. We need to fill the feed we every other day. The birdbath is filled automatically by our irrigation system. We go through about 15 pounds of bird feed a month. I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown ...................................

I put out 10 suet feeders for the nuthatches and woodpeckers throughout our woods. According to MO conservation these species are declining in our state. I have a lot of old growth oaks, enough dead trees and a small creek so they thrive here. I also have a bird bath close to the house that I keep filled. I use suet feeders that only open on the bottom so only the clinging birds can access the food. It keeps the starlings away. Years ago when I used bird seed feeders starlings started showing up. I took them down and the starlings left. Disgusting birds! They bully native birds and crap on everything. __________________________ | |||
