I keep my feeders up because I enjoy seeing the parents bringing their
offspring. It's very entertaining to see the juveniles' reactions to the
feeders. They may not need extra food but I still enjoy feeding them.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] Tapering off feeders afterwinter?
Hi all,
Second feeder question from me: Do folks reduce the number of feeders after
winter is over?
I have two poles, one with a two-feeder hook at the top, from which I hang a
thistle feeder and a larger tube feeder (Sunflower and Safflower seeds).
The other pole hasa large fly-through covered platform feeder (Sunflower and
Safflower seeds).
I also have two hanging suet feeders and a birdbath.
My back-yard is very small, and we will be adding a lot of shrubs this
spring and net fall. So far I have planted two pyracanthas which I
will let grow big, also winterberry and beautyberry shrubs. We also
have a fig, and I am happy to share those with the birds. Out front we
have a sour cherry which will also be shared of course.
So knowing all that, in the interest of removing one pole / feeder until next
winter, should I or shouldn't I?
Thanks,
Eric
