Bobert, just put in plants that attract birds, rather than bird feeders themselves. Heck, you can probably even put in some grain somewhere, and a birdbath or fountain, and if you do plant the berries, put them at the bottom of the yard out of the way. I find water is almost as good an attractor as food for many types of birds.

You'll do fine. This isn't Hitchcock's The Bears. It's just a few common sense precautions to take. If some of us can keep right on with what we're doing with bears around, so can you.
