Subject: RE: BS: Feeding the birds
Well, if yer gonna feed birds, ya' gotta feed 'um... They ain't like TV's an' you can turn them off an' on based on yer whims...

Second, the more types of food you put out the greater varitey of bird you will get. I have 7 feeders. A couple for balck oil sunflower seed. A couple for mixed seed, nuts and fruit and a coupe suit feeders plus a woodpecker block feeder. And a couple thistle feeders. With this combination I get all the birds that are native to my habitat.

You might want to check with yer local bird seed store as to other birds to feed...

Also, soon as it get to freezing you'll need to get a water warmer and put out water for them. They are cheap but you'll neeed to plug it into an outside outlet...
