I tried it. Feeders pond, etc. Lasted 2 years. Damn birds would sh*t all over everything. My truck seem to be their favorite spot. Oh, and if the squirrels find out how to get to it, disaster.
We are the local costco of bird feeders in my backyard. You can those birds for blocks, it's pretty crazy the noise. It got to one point, that the doves would not move if you walked within two feet of them. I have a 20x40 side yard, with a gate on each end of the 40 side. I could walk end to end and the doves would just watch me. I got within 2 feet of them....we scaled it down once the falcon started eating birds on the fence.
And yes I've been jesting about eating birds, squirrels and rats. I have A soft spot for all creatures including the pesky ones. I feed year round including several food plots for deer, rabbit and turkey. I do hunt but only for trophy class animals. These I consume because I don't believe in wasting any part of A animal I choose to harvest.
And yes I've been jesting about eating birds, squirrels and rats. I do however believe in feeding the less fortunate of the small animals especially the birds. I take great joy in watching their antics. Were fortunate in having A large variety of birds including Blue Birds in our immediate area. Ever see vulchers nesting? I have and even had the opportunity to photograph the eggs to the fledgling of the young Vulchers.
