I had woodpeckers bang on my siding next to the window to let me know the suet was bad for about 10 years.
It was steel siding at the time, and they left several nice dents.
As much as I’d love to keep feeding them, I had my siding replaced by insurance with vinyl (unrelated issue) and don’t really want holes all up it… so i weaned before it was replaced. Just attending their demands less frequently.
Hasn’t been an issue in the last year.
Birbs be smart. They know what’s up, they just play it cool. Don’t want to give away the game.
So long and thanks for all the

Never had a bird beg, but they do seem attracted by the sounds of filling the feeder.
Oh my gosh, this is so validating! A few different species of birds will flutter in front of the living room window when the feeders are empty to get my attention. They are smart little things!
The age old question: who watched who first the birb or the hooman?
yes!
TBF the Tufted Titmouse is an adorable borb!



Tintin the bird
Can certainly also see why it got named that… 🙃
Birds at my feeder are the opposite. The millisecond it runs out of seed the yard turns into 28 Days Later.
This tufted titmouse was the winner
Hummingbirds will poke at the window for you to refill it. Cute goes a long way.
It has been nice weather this weekend. I learned that my chickens will just come walking into the livingroom if I leave the door open. Very cute, but they shit everywhere.
You’ll have to get them their own TV and Barcalounger
Hmm… my chickens are very spoiled but they aren’t “have their own tv” spoiled… yet…
Im not sure how much good a tv does with birds though, they see at over 120hz, to our 60hz so most of what we see as motion on tv they see as a series of still images
To be fair, movies are 24fps!
So movies might be too low framerate for a chicken, but 60+ fps game footage’d probably be alright.
Ima have to try and see how they react.
But chickens process 120-200 fps so I don’t think that’d do the job to show them motion. (Which makes sense, they fly and have to dodge stuff in flight at high speeds)
I may have been mistaken about what hz refers to…? Not sure. Don’t… think so…? I know its refresh rate, i just don’t know how thats different.
Also fwiw some movies seem jittery to me… so maybe we need more than 24 as a normal allotment. :)
