I would be interested in the answers to Jim's questions also; perhaps
replies could go to the list for those of us who are beginning birders.
The Droll Yankee feeders are expensive but they do indeed stand by their
guarantee to promptly replace damaged parts....I can so vouch.

Subject: [va-bird] Questions for back-yard feeders....
I'm trying to build up a feeder or two per payday but I have a few
questions for the VA birders who feed in the back yard...
Where do you get reasonably priced feeders that will last?
Where do you get seed/suet etc without spending more than you do on your
grocery budget for people?
Any recipes for do-it-yourself seed cakes etc?
Right now I have 4 hopper feeders, and 4 suet cages along with one
hummingbird feeder. (think it's too late this year for the hummers)
Which brings me a question about the season,,, What seed, suet, other
mix should I have right now? and what would be a good start for some
bird houses this time of year?
So far, I've had suet out for 3 weeks or so and nothing is really eating
it that much. Seed cakes are doing well, as is sunflower seed, and
mixed seed.
For the time being, I get the seed at walmart.
I have some feeder poles to mount to the deck that I got from Lowe's,
they are a little high, but not quite as high as the specialty places
like Wild Bird Center etc.
Anyway, thanks in advance.
