Taking Back the Birdfeeder
Posted by admin Filed Under Bird House Feeder with 2 Comments
August 23, 2008: Both the deer and the squirrels have enjoyed the seed in my birdfeeders. The deer could easily eat the seed in the long cylindrical feeder, cleaning it out in one visit. They haven’t been successful with this new feeder. However, my lawn is filled with clover, so they have plenty to eat. When I took down the cylindrical feeder and replaced it with this round one that holds only sunflower seeds, the squirrels stayed away— for about one day. Now they’ve figured it out. The birds seemed suspicious at first, but as you can see, they have now accepted the new feeder. They make more visits than the squirrels, so I guess we can say they have reclaimed the feeder. Black-oil sunflower seed is the most popular choice of seed eating birds. This seed has a high percentage of meat and is a very nutritious source of high quality protein. The softer outer shell makes it easy for smaller birds like chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, goldfinches, pine siskins and finches. The seed also boasts a high concentration of oil, which is especially important in the winter.
