We had a hedge of wax myrtles about 15' behind our house that made a perfect spot for dozens of bird varieties. I had 2 seed feeders and hummingbird feeder and they were hopping with activity every morning. Especially in the winter when there's little else food for them.<br /><br />Girl you wait till this winter!!!! Better join Sam's Club and get your seed there. Goldfinches winter over along the Gulf Coast, so you might want to look into nijer/thistle seed (and their special feeders) for the cold season.<br /><br />I hang suet blocks and use black oil sunflower seeds here in the warm season. We have cardinals, mockingbirds and lots of woodpeckers here. But it isn't crazy except when the goldfinches are here in the winter.<br /><br />You can consider additional feeders, perhaps larger ones?The Vollmershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147086806363181531noreply@blogger.com
