LOLz..........It seems like I go through a 20lb bag of wild bird seed a week. I feed both the mallard ducks and I place seed in one of those bird feeders. Either i'm considered the "gravy train" or I don't even know!

Why are all birds such piglets?

With more seed will come more birds
Maybe they aren't piglets, but they are telling all their friends about your wonderful feeders!

Both Myla and I just adore our feathered friends!
Just think how much energy it takes to fly and to keep warm and also this is the time of year when they are also feeding their young, so them may not be eating only for themselves. I usually hang a block of suet in my front yard for the birdies, but the little cat has been tearing up the blinds to get at the birds, so I have had to stop.
Birds use a great deal of energy, especially when they are flying. They need to eat a lot in order to keep up that energy . They spend a great deal of their time looking for food.
I put out my feeder awhile ago & its taken a bit for the birds to find it - but now they are here in full force & they are little pigs! We have a little family of birds (not sure what they are!) that come the same time every morning
I use suet feeders, and they sure do go through that stuff.
Funny thing, I've noticed our birds prefer the $1 Walmart "all season" suet over the fancy specialized suet.
Yes, it took the birds awhile to find our feeder when we first put it out, but they must have put up little birdie billboards pointing all their friends to the great new restaurant...
We've got all the business we can handle! In the winter, they were going through a five-pound bag of seed in a day.
