Tired of feeding more rodents than birds, my wife got new technology from Wild Birds Unlimited. The transparent hoods stop those that jump from trees above, the raccoon baffle keeps those that climb from below (it’s hollow inside). The feeders themselves have weight mechanisms to close the feeding portholes if the rodent does get near, they keep seed dry and have easy cleaning features.
The menu – we get flocks of birds several times a day – includes sunflower seed, peanuts, pecans and suet. The view of the canal is nice. Less than 5 feet away are bird baths with clean drinking water.
There is usually plenty of seed on the lawn and in other feeders which the squirrels can still access.
Spread the word – Margaret’s gourmet kitchen is open!
