C'mon, guys!!!

Are all birds the same?  When's the last time you saw an Eagle eating an
aphid?  Or an Oriole eating a mouse?  Not all birds eat seed.  And you can
attract insect eaters quite easily.

Birds have different diets.  If you're on this list, and have Internet
access, I strongly advise you to go to your browser and start doing
"searches" on birds.  You'll have a wonderful time learning about an aspect
of your garden that you've apparently overlooked, to the disadvantage of
the birds, and YOU!  But it's a regional thing, of course.

Get with the program, and have fun.

With kindest wishes, happy regards, and sloppy kisses,
