Sorry for not replying sooner. My computer was down again. Anyhow, I'll give it a try w/stirring the birdseed. I did add new seed to see if that would attract them. Plus I always put out the black sunflower seeds at a separate feeder but they're not eating that either. Squirrels do come but I have a baffle on the feeders plus I put out feed corn for them and they eat that instead. I just feel so bad that there are no birds around. Even the Fur Posse look baffled. They sit at the windows and look all over for them.
