Are bird feeders a good idea?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010
Chris Y asked:


Bird feeders………well, they feed birds but are they a good idea? They give birds food but couldn’t they also make birds more lazy by relying on a person providing them food? There’s also the chance that younger birds won’t/have a smaller chance of being taught how to catch worms.

I’m not talking about pet birds.

How do you get squirrels away from bird feeders?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010
Edward M asked:


Squirrel-proof feeders are not an option, and the squirrel baffles at stores are too big to fit around the shepherds hook that they’re on. Now I seldom fill the feeders, because the next morning they will just swing it around and spill it! Are there any chemicals, scents, electronics, or other parts or methods that can get squirrels away from the bird feeders?
