Multiple feeders keep a bully bird from running the other birds from the feeders. He can't guard them all & will give up. My feeders hold a quart. When they are really feeding I fill them every other day.

Yeah. Pretty much.

It's a fence made of 4x4's between concrete block "posts." It was here when I moved in. But I did hang the cooler there. Unfortunately, it hung there until the sun finally degraded the plastic and it fell apart.

I even had a car up on blocks for a couple years beside the house. It's back on tires now though, awaiting a tow to the junk yard. Definitely all redneck.

I never said a thing was wrong.

Hell, my DD is a beat up '87 F-250 with over 350k on the clock.
(it's not up on blocks)


I was just busting on Steve's situational awareness ability's.


Thank you both for the tips.
Though I don't see, and we don't have many of the little buzzers around here, I hope to attract a few.

I know. I was busting your chops LOL Put out a feeder. They will come. I don't know how they find the feeders but the bird numbers just grow all summer. We had over 20 at a time in August.

With the crap on tv today the birds are much better entertainment for a old redneck like me.

Haven't owned a TV in 20 years. (get A LOT more done that way)

My feeders came today.
The nectar is cooling right now.
I think one off each corner of the front porch in the wife's flower garden would be nice.
Our hammock is out there. Hope I can get them used to company.

If they were true rednecks, the bird watching would involve a shotgun.
