Why didn’t you guys tell me about feeders ?!?
Why didn't someone tell me about bird feeders? My wife got me one for Christmas, and I finally got around to setting it up two days ago. It took all of a day for the birds to find it and... holy mackeral. At first, the Goldfinches came. And they were throwing seed like crazy. I told my wife, "This is great. But man is there going to be a mess on the ground." Queue the Mourning Doves, Dark-eyed Junco's and Sparrows to do ground clean up. Suddenly I have Cedar Waxwings flying in to checkout the commotion ( they never hit the seeder), but then come the Beepers... the Nuthatches. I'm learning they're a bit pushy and have very particular likes. The Ferregonous Hawk shows up in the neighbors yard to see whats going on. It's like this one bird seeder has brought all 12 common birds to the neighborhood into my yard, plus random visitors just to check out the action. submitted by /u/Puzzleheaded_Tie_891 to r/birding [link] [comments]

RE:Air Rifles for Starlings and Pests
Starlings are smart. Initially, when i'd come out to run them off the feeder, they would light in a tree within BB gun range. It didn't take them long to start flying farther away. Once they realized I could still reach them with a few more pumps, they started flying completely out of sight. They seem to love suet cakes, and they shit more than any bird I've ever seen.
