You say that but you must understand that they are SUPER invasive and harmful. They rip up roofing, flashing, and have destroyed a lot of property as well as choke out species native to the area.

SO, I originally was feeding some really cute Juncos, Warblers, Nuthatches...Cardinals... you know the good birds. The hawks didn't seem to find them as everyone kept our location quiet. We thought we had a good thing. The squirrels were even in and kept it under wraps. THEN came the Starlings. Loud MFers who tore my shingles, wood, and siding off the garage. They ate all the food and chased everyone away but the wrens and finches. BUT apparently the local hawks and eagles got wind...because they are not quiet. So now they are being picked off one by one.
