Red Dusk last evening, signaling rain. The bugs in my flower garden are getting bad. While sitting on my back porch I watch a ton of birds eating bugs. It dawned on me (no pun intended) that if I encouraged more birds, more bugs would get eaten. So I thought...let me put a bird feeder out here. A couple of issues with this, however.
One is a hunting cat....she loves to hunt and kill animals...If the seeds fell to the ground, which they will...more opportunity for her to kill. Moreover, I want the birds on the ground....eating bugs...lol. I thought about putting sticky tape everywhere to discourage her.
The official name of the cat is Fleece, but we have always called her Evil Kitty
I thought about putting the feeder in this tree, but if the seeds drop will I be dealing with more weeds?
I really like this option. Putting on the corner awning. Only down side, is Evil Kitty can hide around the corner...still the best spot.
Caterpillars on the rose buds and black spot are my issues at the moment.
Another option is this corner around the pool.. More prone for squirrels here though...
Suggestions?
