Not the greatest shot, just wanted to show what's been going on around the clock at my place.. Smaller birds are getting ticked off. I would'nt mind so much but now they're cleaning out the feeders & crap everywhere, which my dogs don't mind....YUK!

This is why god invented the tazer, nah i kid, you've just gotta put up with the birds :p Can't feed some and leave others out, it always happens with pigeons and magpies in my garden. I suppose you've got it a bit worse though!

Wonderful shot. You can buy 50 pound bags of cracked corn for cheap. I have turkeys in a field nearby and would love it if they found my yard. :)

Thanks for all the comments! We did feed corn last year & had 13 or so of them coming regularly. But they do make quite a mess. Have to take shots through the window because they're so wary. This one walked past my 'bird perch' & said "Forgetta bout it! I aint posing on that thing!"
