A while ago, I bought a bird feeder because I thought it would be fun in our yard, and sure enough, it was an instant hit. We got to see many interesting bird, including a baby woodpecker probably related to the big woodpecker that's living in our of our trees and making swiss cheese out of it :)
I have many pictures of those birds, but these are hopefully the best:











a junko was feeding the wrong bird, oops


that was a lot of doves









After a while, built aa new mostly squirrel proof bird feeder:





We also got beautiful woodpeckers:

We also got a few wounded birds:



And we also got a few hummingbirds. Those are cool:


Squirrels started by being cute before the bird feeder:



The only problem were the squirrels that started by eating fallen seeds, but eventually went to the source:

they look good when they start

clean the seeds by your doorstep

then they climb

and climb

and jump

and climb

and jump
The squirrels really became a problem, so I had to trap them and get rid of them:

I tried to build a defense, but it was pointless

on the plus side, I could capture all the grain the birds were dropping

so I had to bait them with peanut butter
