My brother Everett put up Bird feeders. he thought. But he gets a ton of action from Deer, so I've renamed the feeders Dird feeders, since they get both wingeds & 4-leggeds. The little cuties cleaned out 15 lbs of seeds just last night - & they do it almost daily. They started out licking the seeds out of the little openings but it didn't take long for them to figure out that if they bumped the feeders, they'd get more seeds faster, so now one "Dird" bumps the feeder & others eat, then she eats while someone else bumps the feeder. And some scientists claim critters don't think?? HAH! Such 'scientists' give the rest of us scientists a bad name. These 'Dirds' prove that.. Fascinating. & I believe we got pictures, so as soon as I download them, I'll stick some up here.

My mother in ND keeps bird feeders on her back porch overlooking the river valley. Usually, raccoons are the biggest problem she deals with, but last week she called to report that a wild turkey

Here's my "squird" feeder. I bought it for jays and look what I get. That's my black squirrel perched in the jay and crow feeder.
