I would say when the birds figure out that you have food they will become smarter and high maintence. <BR/>Refusing that simple crap the neighbors have.

What you need to do is go into the craft section of your walmart and purchase a one of those fake birds people glue onto....things....and glue it inside those iron bars. Then the other birds will come to investigate, possibly with a cake they've carefully baked a file into....lisabeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920384323769700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-32587391598565384452008-03-30T20:51:00.000-05:002008-03-30T20:51:00.000-05:00LOL Carolyn Jean!

Only Midnight Breed Birds are coming to your feeder, so you are sleeping and don't see them there. And since they are vamp birds, they are just feeding off each other and not the seeds? ;)<BR/><BR/>OR <BR/><BR/>2. It sometimes takes a while (maybe even a few weeks) for the birds to "discover" your feeder.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414093212095906246.post-48822412558498082832008-03-30T20:09:00.000-05:002008-03-30T20:09:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Charlie Blockheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990245680009504077noreply@blogger.com
