1. Wow, that really is a feast for your feathered friends!! That tree is so gnarly looking, it must be 200 years old. How did you get this photo, Sher? 😂 It must have hurt your arm.

     • That’s great!! I’m glad that you can use seed feeders, that can’t happen in my backyard.

     • John why can’t you put out seed feeders?

     • Well… It’s all because of the flying rats called Rock Pigeons. They SWARM the feeder and swing on it which spreads the seeds into the rocks and the wood chips below. I despise pigeons for this reason, and they are a problem all around Las Vegas. Some companies specialise in removing them. Grr! They never bother the Hummingbird feeders!

     • Rock Pigeons are certainly a bother nearly everywhere. Once again, an invasive species messing up our ecosystems..

     • Oh? Where did the Rock Pigeon originate from? I have seen them in photos in different countries. The Flying Rat is very good at reproducing.

     • Wow! So, how did they arrive in North America? In a cage? What a scourge!

     • What I read said that pigeons were considered domesticated and were used for food and for messaging. Wish they had left them over there!
