For as long as I can remember, been feeding the birds and squirrels. On the East Coast we start in October and stop in June.
Don't want them not to lose their natural instinct entirely, say I should disappear.
And Nature controls, Red Tail Hawks, Peregrine Falcons and Sparrow Hawks.
For those who don't know, the Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal on this planet, can move up to 200 MPH. Look it up, fascinating.
