Try taking an apple or two, and cutting a hole through it. Stuff the hole with chunky peanut butter, and hang that out with your other feeders. There are lots of birds that feed on fruit rather than just seeds, and you can attract a greater variety of birds to watch!

It's fun to watch the birds. I have a peanut feeder and a sunflower seed feeder with two "entrances" hanging on the scaffolding outside my window (my father never took it down after renewing the guttering a couple of years ago), there's often a queue of birds waiting for their turn to get to the sunflower seeds.

That's why we have bird feeders...for the entertainment value. We also get chipmunks and squirrels. It's so much fun watching the birds and squirrels vie for space on the feeders only to have the chipmunk come rampaging through to get the seeds.

I was basically housebound for almost a full year back in the early 80's. Fortunately I lived in the woods, and it was a pleasant setting. I had 5-10 different types of bird feeders set up outside the window beside my chair, and a copy of "Birds of North America" on the table next to my binoculars. Most of the feeders were 'anti-squirrel' types, but I did put out seeds and nuts for them too. I had suet/seed, fruit/seed, fruit/peanut butter, as well as a few commercial multi-perch seed feeders with different sized seeds. Despite being ill, that was one of the most enjoyable years for me! It was almost as much fun coming up with new ideas for feeders as watching the birdies feed!

We are the Borg. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

She had a brief guest role on Warehouse 13 - when they "coincidentally" added Kate Mulgrew as Pete's mother .... and a regent of the warehouse.

No! NO! It's not Jeri Ryan I was in love with. It was Seven of Nine. Just the same as my (in my mind only, unfortunately) affair with Mrs. Peel, but not Dianna Rigg. Dianna Rigg is a wonderful actress, a great Thespian, but she is NOT 'Mrs. Peel!' Same same with Jeri Ryan.
I want Mrs. Peel and I want Seven of Nine!

Great fantasies are made of this...

I must confess to owning the complete "Mrs. Peel" episode set of The Avengers DVD's.

I've tried apple, though not with peanut butter, but the inner city birds are snobs and refused to eat it. Unfortunately we haven't got a lot of birds in the inner city anymore. There are great tits, jays, pigeons, ravens and several other birds I don't know the name from.

The pigeon don't eat birds food, they eat junkfood people throw out on the street, as do the ravens. The jays like peanuts. Before I got the sunflower seeds the tits loved peanuts, if I hung up a bag of mixed seeds and nuts they would only eat the peanuts and leave the rest. Now they love the sunflower seeds and only sometimes do I see them on the peanut feeder. All birds refuse to touch suet blocks/balls.

They've almost emptied the sunflower seed feeder, but since I haven't got anymore sunflower seeds they have to wait until my order arrives tomorrow. I know from experience that in another week they don't feel the need to stock up anymore and their binging will slow down.
