In me installing bird feeders in my garden?
We have a "woodland" area (as was somewhat over-zealoulsy described in the house marketing info when we bought the house) to the side of our house with plenty of trees and bushes where the birds nest etc, so there's no shortage of roosts/nesting places.
My reason for the hesitance in using feeders is that we also have a large number of pigeons that dwell in the oak tree at the the bottom of the garden, along with several squirrels - both of which will devour the food I'm sure.
One sees "squirrel proof" feeders advertised and promoted all over, but do any of them work, and by supplying food am I encouraging the squirrels into the garden.
Oh and we have visiting cats too who like to hide behind the shed.
