> I got a bird feeder a year ago for Christmas. It is a really cool one in the shape of a Dutch windmill with the seeds and such attached to the outside of it. Unfortunately, I don't think that the birds around our place like it it very much because only a few ever came by to check it out. Wrong seeds? Who knows?

> Recently, I got another feeder and put in my own seed. Soon, we started getting some small birds coming to the house. I put some seed on the first house so they go in their, too. There is also a scrub jay that plays the part of the bully and scares off the little ones. But I'm seeing more little ones and I think they are forming a gang. Today they scared off a robin. I'm not sure whether I should intervene on them because now my balcony is their "turf." It is pretty fun to watch, though.

At least you don't have cats hanging around. We had a birdbath out the front and had to remove it because one of the friendly neighbourhood cats discovered it was a great place to sit and wait.

And no, I'm not a cat hater, I'm an "irresponsible cat owner" hater (?)
