I have a bird feeder in my yard.

How did birds survive for millions of years without bird feeders?

Not the point of a bird feeder. People like to watch birds. I knew a girl that wouldn’t go berry picking because she thought she was depriving birds of their natural food. She hit a turkey with her car, and was inconsolable for days.

You don’t put up a bird feeder to feed the birds. The birds can do fine on their own. You put them up to attract them so you can enjoy watching them. We had a bird feeder outside our living room window in New Hampshire and we had 2 Hummingbird feeders in Georgia.

Well some of them ate other birds.

But a lot of them just kill other birds with out the excuse of eating them.

If you want to see something truly sickening watch a blue jay sit on a chickadee and peck it to death for no reason.

Or humming birds battle.
