I have two bird feeders in my front yard that I have to re-fill a few times a week. They attract all kinds of finches and grosbeaks and various other "LBBs", but I am never looking out those windows and the only one who gets to watch them is the cat. My wife got me a nice bird feeder styled after some frank lloyd wright stained glass windows and I hung it out my kitchen window. The area is between the house and the sidewalk (about ten feet away) and sheltered by a pine tree that houses a family of very active squirrels. I think I hung the bird feeder in such a way that the squirrels cannot get to it because it has been up for a week and the bird seed has not diminished at all. But where are the birds? Do they not want to come over because the squirrels are there? How do I tell them I have a snack for them?
