It hangs off a tree in my backyard and the birds love it.

I downloaded a cool app called Smart Bird ID. It identifies what bird is calling.

Ive been getting into birds species and their calls lately. Some interesting stuff.

Common grackles are like the stereotype leather jacket greaser bully of birds. In my backyard at least from what I see.

Anyway thought Id share.

If a squid goes on it then the weight of the squirrel will close the opening of the seeds. Its also chew proof.

I feed the birds here, we get a lot of species, it's cool. Cats like to lay in the windowsill and watch them in and out of naps.

i had one of those, the squirrels figured out how to get around that though. they just started hopping on it over and over, shaking the seed out of the feeder onto the ground. eventually their repeated attacks broke one of the springs...

i ended up getting a regular bird feeder, a pole, and a squirrel baffle. i smile every time i watch one of the little bastards hit the baffle, try to climb over it, then lose their grip when the thing rocks.

Squirrels are rodents, they will gorge themselves and eat your seeds in a day, while chewing holes in the plastic and destroying your feeders. It's kind of like having a rat in your cabinet of food. They will also scare off birds from coming to feed. Squirrels can eat all kinds of things like acorns and berries, while birds are limited because they can only eat small things. Squirrels are Satan and aren't worthy of your sympathy.

Some squirrels are cool and friendly but last year I gave this squirrel some fresh store bought blueberries and she ate them all. The next day when I didnt give her any she chewed the side of my house trying to get in my kichen like she knew where I stored them.

Yeah, that's what they do. Squirrels should not be encouraged. They're naturally clever and can be highly destructive, it's a bad combo. Don't associate your house with food for them

the squirrels here figured out they could just hang off the bottom of the feeder and get seeds without it closing

I use safflower seeds for my birds specifically because the squirrels near me don't like them.

BTW squirrels aren't even in the top tier of cute backyard mammal wildlife. Possums, armadillos, and bunnies are far cuter

Love Blue Jays and their calls. I usually get AmericanRobins, Song Sparrows, Common Grackles, House Sparrows, Blue Jays, Mourning Doves and some more. I hear a bird outside right now and its 4 in the morning. Let me try that app and see what bird is out so late... ok its an American Robin it says.

Dont forget raccoons and foxes. Never get armadillos around here. I want a pet opossum so baddddddd theyre so cute.

Theres this bird call I heard today that I never heard before but the app doesnt pick it up because other bird calls are louder. Its been killing me all day. Ive been trying to find this call on the internet for hours but I cant find it. This bird sounds so adorable. Ill try again tomorrow.

Both help maintain the balance of nature.

At least throw out some unroasted unsalted peanuts for the squirrels. ;-;

Add some crushed red pepper to the birdseed. Squirrels won't like it, and birds are immune to it.

God once I was pouring out some seed on a windy morning.
I didn't realize the seed as peanuts in it.
Some dust must have flown into my eyes because all of a sudden my eyes were burning.

The American Robin is back at 4 in the morning. Its just him. I did research and it says hes claiming his territory early in the morning. Only males do this.

This is what he sounds like right now
