Words of advice, Ingrid. :) "You should never squeeze a weasel For you might displease the weasel, And don't ever seize a weasel by the tail. Let his tail blow in the breeze; if you pull it, he will sneeze, for the weasel's constitution tends to be a little frail. Yes the weasel wheezes easily; the weasel freezes easily; the weasel's tan complexion rather suddenly turns pale. So don't displease or tease a weasel, squeeze or freeze or wheeze a weasel and don't ever seize a weasel by the tail." -Jack Prelutsky I see I am too late....he's all white! Lol! Awesome picture! I only have a stay cat at my feeders. :) Ginny

Hi! Your feeder is neat, especially the way you've hung the tray on the bottom. The only thing I can think of, relative to your question about why birds aren't using that feeder, is that at this time of year it's not the feeder - there are so many insects, seeds, buds, etc. out there that haven't been available to the birds before spring, and I know that's where most of our birds are getting their nourishment. Even the gray catbirds that have been in the garden and birdbath haven't been visiting our fruit/jelly feeder. I've actually taken everything down except the nyjer feeder, and I keep the birdbaths filled and clean because all the birds come to those no matter what. On the other hand, we have a pair of goldfinches that visits our nyjer feeder every day at about 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., like clockwork. And more goldfinches than just those two take advantage of the feeder as well. So that feeder will stay up. This will work out - you could leave your feeder up and wait and see, birds may suddenly see it and use it. Good luck - Donna

Yup, I moved to the desert. It's ok if this bubbles back up to the top - at least it will eventually bubble back down, LOL! I have too many house sparrows at my feeder. They are scaring the hummingbirds away! But I can't find the Magic Halo ANYWHERE. Did they stop making it???

I had a bunny that was visiting me for a few months,At the end of the summer I found a young baby bunny dead at the end of my sidewalk. One day last year when my daughter was cutting the grass for us,she almost ran over a baby squirrel. His eyes weren't even opended yet. I called around and found a Vet that told me the name of the formula and how often to feed him. I had him in a big fish tank with a heating pad under a blanket. I had to feed him every three hours. We did that for four days.Then I had fed him at 3AM and his eyes were just starting to open. When Jim went to feed him at 6, he had died. Broke my heart.
