We'll continue to responsibly feed and enjoy our birds and hope you do to. :)

I keep my feeder filled. I am part of urban sprawl, and my house has replaced farmland. I'm sure they were finding food here before, so why not now?

Exactly. Sometimes I think these "studies" and "stories" are insulting.

The birds appreciate all we do for them as well as other critters I am sure. God created all these creatures and it's arrogant of man to think that without us these creatures would perish. However, we feed them because we love and appreciate their beauty, antics and the joy they give to all of us.

Like you...we keep our feeders filled and we harvest our sunflower heads in the fall and always save several LARGE ones to put out special for our feathered friends on Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Jays love them and they are such fun to watch. It's our gift to them. We have three regular feeders off our deck and about three others in the yard and two finch feeders as well. We even have an OWL box. :) St. Francis is happy we help feed the wildlife. :) Have fun and enjoy these beautiful birds.
