Might not be Cisco's fault. I've found that birds can be leery of new things. If I change even the brand of sunflower seeds, the birds will stay away from the feeder for a couple of days. I finally had to end up moving a feeder before the birds would use it. I had another feeder up in the exact same place, but the birds refused to use the new one. Who knows what goes on in a bird's brain?

It's been over a week...so we'll see. We've fed birds so long back home that the location of our feeder is probably part of the genetic material of the local bird population - they all just know instinctively that it's there.

So I don't remember at all how long it usually takes for the little guys to identify new locations.

Is that why they call STOOPID people, 'bird brains"?
