So the birds started using the bird feeder with the improvements I over-engineered into it. But I could barely see the huge flock of trash birds that were eating about $0.75 a day of perfectly good seed.
So I moved the birdfeeder up to the back window.
Those trash birds are kinda cute up close.
Although there is some worry that the rock I’m using as a counter-weight is going to smash through the back window. Which would drive up the cost of feeding trash birds even further.
