Bird Feeders

Rusty B. asked:


I have bought a window feeder that I plan on hanging on September 1. I have purchased 40 pounds of bird food. 20 bounds in black oil sunflower seed and another 20 lbs is a high quality bird food (has tons of black oil seed in it). WIll this be enough to keep the feeder filled until next spring, or do I need to purchase more. Please advise! How much food will an active feeder use up every day?

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with
seed.

Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the
continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.

But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio,
above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop. It was
everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table…everywhere.

Then some of the birds turned mean: They would dive bomb me and try to
peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket.

And others birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and
squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded
that I fill it when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore. I took
down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up
their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the
patio.

Soon, the back yard was like it used to be…quite, serene and no one
demanding their rights to a free meal.

Now lets see. Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing,
free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be an
automatic citizen.

Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services:

small apartments are housing 5 families:

you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor:

your child’s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half
the class doesn’t speak English:

Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box;

I have to press “one” to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people
waving flags other than “Old Glory” are squawking and screaming in the
streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

Maybe it’s time for the government to take down the bird feeder.
