Little birds collude to feed geese families!

Those little birds empty the feeder and throw what they don't want beneath in 30 minutes when those mean federally protected Canadian Goose families bring all their little "velociraptors" to feed under the branch where the feeder hangs! Gonna go broke on bird seed if it keeps up!

Mom/Dad and likely 2 more (aunt and uncle?) with 12 babies gobbling it up!

...and to cut the snake and mice/rat and it works well. I feed the birds and the ones that won't use the feeders get fed by what gets tossed on the ground: cardinal, doves, etc.

The grackles eat the catfood and my favorite cat grabbed my favorite mocking bird.
