I spend a ton of money feeding these critters but when I walk outside,, they take off ! Only one that will get pretty close is the mockingbirds ! I have the fattest birds in the county !
I miss not feeding the smaller birds. We quit because of the eagles and we didn't want all of the ducks and other large birds in our yard...the lake is fine in back of the house but we don't want to walk in droppings. I think the carolina wren used to come to our last home, I looked forward to him singing every summer. We used to go through hundreds of dollars a month on bird seed when we had the pergola to hang all of the feeders on. Such a cute little bird you have...
