This reminds me of that one time when a couple of storks built themselves a nest atop a regular electric pole and while they were out hunting, a random summer storm passed over and lightning struck the pole.
I was like "WTH nature!?". Then the storks came back and they were like "Hmm, something seems different... Need more straws." They rebuilt and a couple of months later i was able to see live a reenactment of the "This is Sparta!" movie scene.
And again I was like "WTH nature!?".
i feel seen 😂, just put up bird feeder, i was using binoculars to watch them tho, since i placed it on the other side of the yard above the compost pile, so dropped seeds get composted right away
You could put some sort of tall flowering thing under it, like irises, daisies, daffodils, etc. that come back every year from a bulb. Seed shells don’t matter if you can’t see them, they just break down into fertile soil for the flowers :)
It be like that. Just wait until you get into hummingbird feeders. Those little crackheads are difficult to lure in, but once you get em with that sweet nectar they are yours forever

My problem is the seed shells. I have to take a shop vac to the ground cover or it dies from lack of sun.
