Where are All the Other Wild Bird Feeders?
Does anyone still feed the birds? Many folks must have cut back or quit feeding them all together due to the high cost of birdseed and tight finances. I’m curious because it seems that every wild bird within a two-mile radius in my backyard! I am going through many types of bird food at an alarming rate. My thistle feeder, which holds almost 3 lbs. of nyjer, gets filled about 3 times a week. A fly-thru platform feeder gets 3 cups of no waste seed per day. A 7 lb. bag of cardinal mix lasts only about one week. And I have to feed the bluebirds nesting in an older birdhouse good food like meal worms and bluebird crumbles. These birds are eating like horses!This is getting rather expensive, luckily warmer weather is starting, and maybe I’ll be able to cut back some too. At least water is cheap, and the birds love it! Just put up the birdbath heaters from winter, so now it’s time for the bird bath misters and drippers. I think my feathered friends have it pretty good around here.
