We still do it now...black oil and suet mainly. Squirrels used to be a huge problem so we bought all sorts of contraptions to keep them out...most of them actually worked. We have a stray cat problem now which has really cut the squirrel problem down. Anyhow, I love to watch the birds...we provide houses in the summer. It's awesome to hear the baby birds and see the parents carrying in food, etc We’ve always fed the birds, since I was a kid. We still do it now…black oil and suet mainly.

We trained Lucy to chase the squirrels before she got injured. She's run out there barking at them and chase them up a tree. Great fun for a dog! That’s so funny Kelly.

The info on how birds feed and the amount of energy/time in the day they expend is eye-opening, I'd never realized that. Though it makes sense when I think about it, flying about and keeping warm is hard!

There are 3 or 4 cats that hang out in the alleys and back patios here so unfortunately the birds stay away.
