I've just recently started to feed the birds. I don't know a THING about wild birds or what we have locally but I do feed them. I have a suit (how do you spell that?) feeder and a regular seed feeder (the kind that looks like an enclosed gazebo)that I have in the front yard.

There are a lot of hungry birds around here (or else they're too lazy to find food out in the wild). I'm re-filling the seeder about every other day. The suit feeder is double sided so it takes a few more days to eat both sides.

Silly me, since my living room faces the backyard I can't watch the front yard feeders! However, if I put them in the backyard so I can watch the birds........my two cats can also watch them!! I don't think that's very nice to tease the cats and frighten the birds.
