OK, so I'm not alone, we are getting 15-20 swarming in and that is enough
to clean off the feeder until I get home from work. Between them, the
local Corvids and a "hoggy" Douglas Squirrel, that is enough to make me
pause each morning at feeding time knowing I will come home to a quiet and
empty feeder station. But 40-50+ BTPs, I can't imagine and might just
board the place up and leave *;)*
