We set it up on our deck and waited a few days and no birds came. Finally a ton of birds came. It was only when they left that I noticed all the bird poop they'd left on the deck. Do not set up a bird feeder on your wood deck. :-)Vicky from <a href="http://www.messforless.net" rel="nofollow">www.messforless.net</a>Vicky @ Mess For Lesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047387952497142420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-13564372097461262742012-05-18T14:14:56.878-05:002012-05-18T14:14:56.878-05:00Cute!

The<br />grackles and starlings love watermelon, and I really don't particularly like having them in my yard, but since they like watermelon better than seed, I put out the rinds, and they eat it instead. We have cardinals, hummingbirds, robins, sparrows, titmice, and various other birds that indulge in our food--and make nests in our little house and trees. Love those birds!Under Her Wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778105839814675715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212581401252445388.post-15729118743667822152012-05-18T04:40:07.759-05:002012-05-18T04:40:07.759-05:00I love to hear the birds singing in a morning.

The bear had a thing for the bird feeder and amazing as she is we don't want to encourage her to continue making herself at home on our patio. We feed hummingbirds.
