I saw a fledgling grackle begging itโ€™s parent for food, while it sat in my feeder surrounded by food. In other words kids are kids no matter the species.

I don't mind feeding starlings, especially when their hilarious babies are with them, but I'd love to have some more variety at the feeder. Does anyone have a tip about food that starlings do not enjoy?

Came home to a herd of chunky, grazing squirrels. Might have to discontinue for the duration of the season. ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Found a bunch of big, fat, pale grubs in our compost pile today as I was turning it. Not sure what they would have pupated into (hawk moths, maybe). They were each 2 to 3cm long.

I dropped them into the platform bird feeder and spent the next 20 minutes sipping tea and watching the nuthatches have a field day. Eat up birdies. Make some babies!

I know we're supposed to avoid giving whole peanuts to birds during the breeding season.

I have been experimenting with crunched/blended peanuts using the blender. The birds seem to prefer it too, but I lose some of it through the holes on the peanut feeder.

I wonder, would it be better to just use a seed feeder for crushed peanuts, rather than the peanut feeder?

So Iโ€™ve got some bird feeders on my deck and of course squirrels are frequent visitors. I bring the feeders in overnight because the raccoons just trash them. Whatโ€™s weird is that 4 times in the past few weeks somebody has left a small stone on the deck and then taken it away the next night. The stones are typically about an inch to 1.5 inch. I know where theyโ€™re getting them from but I donโ€™t know why itโ€™s happening. If these are offerings why do they take them away?

Filling all out bird feeders is such a tedious task but I'll be damned if it's not rewarding. As we reach the dog days of winter, birds need more fuel than ever. Put a feeder out and give them a little help.

I was reading about chaffinches the other day.
I see these birds pretty regularly, every day.
But I never see them using the bird feeders. They just mill around looking suspicious, sometimes pecking at the tree.
Apparently, other chaffinches have adapted to use feeders over time, so I will be interested to see if these ones pick the habit up.

Advice needed: A hawk just took a bird from my suet feeder.

The feeders are in a deliberate tangle of grapes vines and tree branches, now bare, and that caused the hawk to get a bit tangled. I couldnโ€™t get out there soon enough with a rake to ward it off.

Once theyโ€™ve done this, do they come back for more? Advice needed.

The starling gang have dropped by earlier than usual this morning.
