Thanks Dirt. DRAT! I have been recycling my storebought suet plastic bins. Great idea for reuse. Right now the bluejays still prefer the corn and black sunflower seeds in the open feeder. I think when it's colder though things may change. The chickadees are chasing the nuthatches away from the suet this year. They have always shared before but not this year. I wonder if that's because we had an early hard freeze in October so the berries on the shrubs did a shrivel drop thing rather than staying on the bushes? I have already been scolded too because I opened the gardenshed door and got rained on by sunflower seeds. Obviously a young bird who doesn't know that stashing seed between the logs in the shed is a dumb idea when clutzy dahlianut is always bumbling around in the shed (oops).
