It IS the courting time for many of the birds....the male Doves strut, all puffed up,
around the female--who is usually ignoring him...
The sparrows yell and shriek as the males, aggressively, try to get close...

Wonder if i should change out the Finch see mix i have had in the tube feeder
for Thistle seed. I have yet to see a goldfinch......booo...hooo...

Maybe the blackbirds are scaring them away?
Maybe my feeder sits in a wrong spot? It is under the edge/corner of my patio roof.
It is protected...somewhat...unless we would have high winds--but it is on the East corner,,
Most of the winds here come from the west--the other side of the patio roof...

Here it is--from August of last year--remembe? r I got this at 50& off at Big Lots?
The feeding ports are all metal--and it completely comes apart to clean it.
It was reg. $40 (Big Lots price)-- So--$20 was a deal!

You like my cake-top I put over it as a baffle?
