Wild Birds

Forgive me, forgot about the pigeons! I think I really like this thread, thanks!

Yes, sometimes it is hard to keep up with cleaning them and filling them. I got 10 lbs. of seed this year, the squirrels eat all the sunflower seeds out of it but the birds don't seem to mind. Have to make hummingbird nectar and clean the feeder every 3 to 5 days. It's SO worth it for me and the cat loves watching them

Do you have hummers year round there? I know some of BC is far more temperate than we are!

I was never able to get Hummingbirds to the backyard but we get plenty of the Ruby-Throated hummingbirds at work. I live in a very suburban neighborhood currently, so that might be why.

One thing I have noticed during these last cold weeks is there is very little squabbling between the squirrels or between the birds or anything! Everyone is just so intent on getting enough to eat they leave each other alone!

Yes, we have humming birds here all year 'round. I first noticed them at Harrison Hot Springs resort Hotel near Chilliwack. We stay there sometimes in the winter. They have about 7 or eight feeders outside in front of the lobby windows all year long. They were there in the middle of winter when there was snow on the ground. Everyone thoroughly enjoys them. I set out my feeder here in Surrey for at least a year before they actually came 'round. Hope springs eternal Now they are regulars, yipppeeee

Sorry, forgot to say that it is very temperate here in Surrey. Very mild winter this year, snowed lightly for 1 hr. so far.
