Birders

We call our backyard birds and wildlife the "backyard pets". We store the bird seed outside in a metal trash can with a metal chain holding down the lid. We have squirrels that come up and rattle the metal trash can lid when the feeders are empty. They will do that until someone comes out to fill the feeders. The moment anyone goes out in the backyard the birds come to the trees nearby the feeder poles and start "talking" to alert the other birds. The little hummers will get really close and squeak at us if we don't fill their feeders fast enough. Guess they have us trained, too! Thank you for a great post. You take care.
