I and my husband also love feeding the birds, and we also put up a house and are entertaining bluebirds. I'm thrilled, I've never had them in my yard before. They recently fledged their second brood, and hang around for the birdbath and mealworms. Yes, we also get the rabbits and a duck stopping in. The squirrels and grackles have given up, as we use squirrel-proof feeders and safflower that we also got from the Wild Bird Center. I love the variety of wildlife here. No, nature isn't neat, it's much more interesting than that!
